'Indy Timeline' of Upcoming Events A Classic: "Lassie"
[When Jan and I take our dogs for a walk at Clay Terrace, we seldom make the lap without a number of people calling out in an always-endearing voice... "Lassieeee!"... and stopping us to pet them. They often reflect back... "When I was a kid, we had a collie just like "Lassie". Why is it, that it always brings back fond memories of great days gone by? In any event, you'll enjoy this latest remake of the classic movie. We did!][excerpted from Christianity Today]
A popular bumper sticker reads...
"I want to be the man my dog thinks I am."
It happens all the time—a dog waits outside the café or the grocery store, straining at his leash, or shoving his nose against the car window, waiting in dutiful vigilance until his master emerges. And then, barking! Tail wagging! And a good deal of scampering about! It's as if this reunion merits some kind of celebration. It doesn't matter if you're grumpy or irritable—your dog is happy to see you. That kind of unconditional love can melt even the toughest heart.
And it's that kind of unconditional love that has made Lassie the world's most famous and beloved dog. Well, that, her colorful coat, and her tenderness toward the boy she loves.
If you think I'm referring to Jeff or Timmy, then you must be thinking of the boys on the Lassie television series that ran between 1954–74. No, I'm talking about the nine-year-old boy named Joe Carraclough, who is Lassie's precious friend in the latest big screen adaptation.
