there's one thing you've just gotta

understand lassie

kids can't stay with their mothers all

the time

they gotta go into college or into the

army or something when they grow up

it's the same thing with pups

golly if you kept all the pups you've

had

there wouldn't be enough room around

here to walk

of course we wouldn't give your puffs to

just anybody

only people who like dogs

the man that's coming for laddie

tomorrow is a cashier at the bank so you

know he's a smart guy

i'm sure he'll take good care of lady

how's it coming

need a rope

but we ain't got time that chest 50 foot

deep pup slips off that ledge he's a

goner

can't you reach him

[Music]

i've got it

take my ankles lower me down oh no i

might lose my grip what was your grip

gramps i trust you potato matter of

trust

please

it didn't worth the door not for a run

puppy mighty isn't just a pup he's

lassie's pup unless you do it for me if

she could

i reckon she would all right

let's go

[Music]

thanks grabs

[Music]

majority rules doesn't it

generally does

where family have to live with each

other and i think important decisions

should be unanimous

all right

i vote to let lassie keep laddie

gramps

he got my vote to keep him yep

well i'm sorry to be the only objector

but

having a growing pup underfoot can be an

awful nuisance

furthermore you'll be away at school and

i'll have to take care of her and that

itself is a chore

however in view of what lassie went

through to keep the puck

i don't see how we can give him away

i vote for lassie too

[Music]

you
