Joe and Lassie’s bond is tested when his father’s job loss leads to the collie being sold. After repeated escapes and returns, Lassie is taken to a remote part of Scotland, setting up a journey whose distance makes the prospect of getting home especially daunting. The story brings together family hardship, loyalty between a child and a dog, and the pull of home, with Lassie’s repeated returns establishing the central conflict.

Book overview

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.
