About the book: 2008 / What is the name of one of the most famous dogs in world literature? Of course Lassie. The most famous, most faithful, kindest dog is back! The book[1], television series and just-released film[2] about her adventures are enduringly popular around the world. Generations of young readers have been taught kindness and love by empathizing with a brave and loyal dog. Joe Carraclough, the son of an English miner, considered himself lucky. Of course, he is the envy of all dog breeders in Yorkshire - there was no such purebred collie in all of England. Every day Lassie came to school to meet Joe, and then one day she didn’t come. At home, Joe received terrible news - his parents sold their dog to get out of debt. But for faithful Lassie there was only one master. A high fence, an iron chain and a huge distance of several thousand miles to her home did not stop Lassie - she had a long and dangerous journey home ahead of her. The book has been translated into dozens of languages, and many films, film adaptations and TV series have been made based on it..
