About Famous Dog Lassie

Famous Dog Lassie (名犬ラッシー) arrives as an adventure anime by Nippon Animation (1996), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: John is a cheerful and energetic young boy, who lives in a small coal-mining town in England. One day he stumbles on a small dog lost in a flock of sheep.

Beyond that: John takes him back home and names the puppy Lassie. Soon they become good allies, just like real siblings. Lassie is a very lovely and smart dog, so everyone in the town loves her very much.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Sandy Monaghan (Hazuru Matsukura) and John Carraclough (Narumi Hidaka) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. With 25 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
