• Includes new by Collie Chatter founder Emily Sowulewski

Before the fictional Lassie Come-Home, a real Collie called Bobbie traveled nearly 3,000 miles in 6 months - crossing the Rocky Mountains at the height of winter - to return to his family. His well-documented journey earned him the title of “Wonder Dog,” an entry in Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, his own silent film, fan mail from all over the globe, and more fame than a dog knew what to do with. While some parts of the book are necessarily fictionalized, others are drawn from interviewing the people who knew Bobbie or those who met and cared for him on his long journey home. Now you too, can meet the dog who was the precursor to Eric Knight’s iconic work. This publication is a complete and unabridged reprint of the original 1926 edition which has been out of print for decades, with a new by Collie Chatter founder Emily Sowulewski.
