About the book

A collie named lassie has to be sold because her family are having bad times . Lassie escapes twice but when her new owner takes her to a place too far to run from will lassie be able to make the journey back to her home ? A collie undertakes a thousand-mile journey in order to once again meet her former master at the school gate. Lassie is Joe's prize collie and constant companion. But when Joe's father loses his job, Lassie must be sold. Three times she escapes from her new owner, and three times she returns home to Joe, until finally she is taken to the remotest part of Scotland -- too far a journey for any dog to make alone. But Lassie is not just any dog. - Publisher.
