"Nevis collie chosen for 'Lassie' movie remake" reads the the secondary headline.
The Pioneer (Bemidji's own daily newspaper) reads:
It's a secret that was bound to come out, at least in northern Minnesota. A local collie named Mason is starring in the new movie, "Lassie."
Producers for the movie flew to Nevis to view Mason and he was chosen immediately because they were looking for a dog with four white socks, a nice blaze on his face, a white tip on his tail and a full white collar ruff. Mason was flown to LA for three months of training, and then went on to four months of filming in Ireland. He appears in about 85% of the film, with a second dog, Dakota, doing the stunts.
Mason has now returned to his former status of being a farm dog, but with a frequent flier miles!
Lucky Mason...I wonder if he knows that he is a movie star?? I wonder what Morgan & Emma think about that??

Morgan and Emma would probably think that was very cool. If they knew who Lassie was. ;-)
I added a couple of pictures of Lassie and Timmy and Timmy's mom.
Thank you, Gary! Fond memories...huh?
