Lassie was before my time, so I thought I would give this movie a try. This movie was PAINFUL. The dog acting was amazing, Pal did a splendid job, along with pup who played Toots. The movie itself is too violent for dog lovers (or maybe just me). I could have handled it if it was JUST Lassie, I mean, obviously, she's the hero, but Toots dying was horrid and the dog fight terrible, and Pal was shot (perhaps not with a bullet) but those skid marks and the way his hind end moved in one direction while his front went the other... That's an animal getting shot with some force. The movie was just very cringey for me and the animal cruelty was too much, even if some of it was just acting.
