关于Lassie Lassie is from a line of her breed that was imported to the US in 1897. Her first home as a puppy was with Major Arthur Trevor， who lived on his family’s farm at Greystead near Catterick Bridge， North Yorkshire (UK)．She went on to become an important member of their family and was known by all her owners throughout her life by the name Lassie; later versions of this story claimed she was named after Lass o‘Grayhaven by Scottish novelist Elizabeth Goudge， although no such book exists and it's almost certainly apocryphal. When he died at the age of only eighty-two in November 1951， one of Trevors's last acts before slipping away into old age was to dictate a letter for his son Robert， who had been caring for him since his wife's death seven years earlier， instructing him to give any remaining money to charity rather than leave it to his two grown up children： “There are many people not so well off， especially dogs”. He died five weeks later on December 24th. In February 1956 a memorial stone bearing his name was placed above the entrance gate at Greystead； today both are part of a National Trust property called Lasswade House.
The stories about how Lassie made her way over to America may be fictional but they do seem to have some basis in reality. One possibility is that someone took advantage of the fact that American customs officers were more relaxed about allowing dogs through if there was a letter attached to say they came from England， which would make things easier in case they got lost or fell ill en route. Whatever the truth behind them， we know that Lassie crossed the Atlantic sometime between January 1911 when she began appearing regularly in photographs taken on visits by friends to the farm and September 1913， around the time the major bought another dog， Blackie， whose fate has never been explained because nobody can remember what happened to him！ It seems probable therefore that she arrived somewhere like New York where she could be easily re-exported back across the ocean again. However this didn’t keep the American press interested， particularly once reports started circulating suggesting that the famous dog was in fact just a mongrel．In March 1912 she even received a summons
