Rudd Weatherwax loved the dogs he trained. A trainer and breeder, Mr. Weatherwax trained many of the collies that portrayed Lassie in the movies and on the popular television series that aired from 1954-1974. When each of his beloved dogs who portrayed Lassie passed away, Mr. Weatherwax had their bodies cremated. When the skilled trainer passed away on February 25, 1985 at the age of 77, the cremated remains of each of the Lassies lined his casket so he could spend eternity with the beloved dogs. | | |
