I can't fathom why LASSIE is not more widely celebrated for being an innovative TV drama. Much of this episode consists solely of animals interacting in the wild, and the way they are integrated into the action and made to "act" is incredibly inventive. Lassie rescues an eagle that has become caught in a trap. When it comes time for Lassie to have her puppies, the eagle does her a good turn too. A very memorable fable.
