The 1950's TV show Lassie derived from the 1943 movie (which starred Roddy McDowell and Elizabeth Taylor), which came from the 1940 book Lassie-Come-Home, which began as a story in the Saturday Evening Post in 1938, which was inspired by a short story from 1859 of collie named Lassie who guided adults to two brothers lost in the snow. Another story tells of a collie named Lassie in World War I, who licked the face of a soldier thought to be dead and kept him warm until he stirred and eventually fully recovered. The book Lassie-Come-Home was written by Eric Knight.
