Challenge to Lassie

the story of a stray puppy taken in by a sheepherder, then trained to be a sheep dog and companion. After robbers kill the master, the dog keeps vigil over the man’s grave and refuses to let anyone else own her. But local law requires that all dogs be leashed and licensed by a legal guardian. Without a master, Lassie is a stray that must be euthanized. When Lassie goes on trial, the local pub owner and townspeople come to her rescue. The court pronounces her a free citizen of Edinburgh, thereby allowed to reside in the Church graveyard and keep vigil by her master’s grave.
