Lassie has entertained generations of children for decades coming to our screen for the very first time in 1943's adaptation of movie Lassie Come Home.
Ever since then the brave collie has been the subject of television series, films and novels. Lassie Come Home got a twenty first century makeover in 2005 when the film was remade, a film which carried on the family character condition and was warmly met by the critics.
Lassie is just one of three animals, along with Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse, to be awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The world of a compulsively neat investigator is turned upside down when he's forced to team up with the only witness to a crime - a drooling junkyard dog who wrecks his home, career, and budding romance.

Also causing trouble is St Bernard Beethoven who, after being stolen from a pet store, escapes and sneaks into the Newton family house. Although George doesn't want the responsibility of looking after a dog he is convinced to change his mind by his wife and three children.
