Lassieless Lassie

People are outraged! What this time, right?

People are outraged that the Lassie in the newest Lassie movie, is not a descendant of the original Lassie. Oh, who the hell cares?

Every Lassie, aside from this one, in every Lassie movie or television show ever made, has been a descendant of the first Lassie. Yes, it's a neat little factoid, but is it really worthy of outrage when the reign ends? It is clearly a case of canine nepotism... and it's all for PR's sake. So really, who the hell cares?

ok, so that is basically like saying that every actor who does a remake of a movie has to be a direct descendent of the original actor to play the part. Yeah, not really too practical.

My dog has been protesting this unfair treatment for years.

I have a Collie, so who knows if he's related...too bad he's a mixed breed with German Shepherd and Rott....I guess that makes him less desirable to the snooty dog people. Oh well, he's not much of an actor anyway.
