Lassie's family recklessly decide to move to Australia, realise they can't take the dog without six months' hard labour in England, so leave her with neighbour Andy Clyde, who looks like the dog might outlive him. Sure enough he has a heart attack and for some reason his stupid little dog Silky goes off into the unknown and Lassie feels obliged to look out for it.
Robert Bray plays Ranger Cory, who comes to the rescue.

Weatherwax Trained Dogs is sadly no more. Rudd's son Bob is quoted on IMDB as saying "I worked with Dad from the early 1960s until his death in 1985. I carried on the Lassie legacy until 2002. Then, against my wishes, the Weatherwax family voted to sell the Lassie trademark." Bob died August 15th of this year and it was the end of an era. I didn't realise but Rudd trained Asta as well.
