The spirit of Lassie is alive and well in a dog named Ashapoo. The trusty canine was always at the side of his owner's two-year-old grandson, Peyton. And that was a good thing when Peyton's grandfather turned his back for a minute as he was planning to take the boy on a trip on the family land in Clover, South Carolina, to find a Christmas tree. When he turned around, the energetic kid was gone. But so was Ashapoo. By the time Peyton's parents showed up to join the hunt for their missing son on the 300 acres of woods, they took solace knowing the boy was with his faithful friend.

Don’t bother clicking link for video.

The stupid ad at the start, also interrupts the video story every 30 seconds.

Authoress Claudine Zap needs to find a new line of work. Her story is nearly incomprehensible.

Glad to hear the boy was found ok at the end of the story.

If it was a DemocRAT dog, this would have been a Little Red Ridding hood story.

Great story
the love dogs have for us is amazing
many don’t deserve that love
but this little boy and family did.

GOOD DOG!

Most Yahoo writers are terrible.

I have seen several lists of dogs from the smartest to dumbest. They all vary a bit but every one lists the border collie as the smartest.

I have never owned one but would like to.

[SkyDancer]

Looks just like my border collie Roxie.

Dog loves boy!

Best dogs in the world for herding cattle or kids.

By all means get one.We’ve had border collies in the past,very loyal and scary smart.My wife would like to get one now,but I’m afraid that the German Shepherds we have now might bully it.
