As a young girl growing up in the
countryside of Connecticut,
Cathy Howard had very big
hopes and dreams. She also
adored the celebrity dog Lassie
and spent most of her childhood
years mesmerized by Lassie’s
television shows and movies.
Cathy dreamed that one day she
would meet her beloved canine
star. Through a series of
incredible twists of fate, not only
did Cathy finally meet Lassie, she
became a close friend of the
family who owned the magnificent
collie star. They gave Cathy a
treasured gift from Lassie; a
beautiful Lassie puppy named
“Lassie’s Silver Star Gina”.
