Description	Lassie Come-Home is a novel written by Eric Knight about a Rough Collie's trek over many miles to be reunited with the boy she loves. Publishers Weekly Author Eric Knight introduced the reading public to the canine character of Lassie in a magazine story published December 17, 1938 in The Saturday Evening Post, a story which he later expanded to a novel and published in 1940 to critical and commercial success. In 1943, the novel was adapted to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feature film Lassie Come Home starring Roddy McDowall as the boy Joe Carraclough, Pal as Lassie, and featuring Elizabeth Taylor. The New York Times The motion picture was selected for inclusion in the United States National Film Registry. A remake of Lassie Come Home entitled Lassie was released in 2005.The hyphen in the title refers to Lassie allegedly being a "come-home" dog. A cynical character falsely accuses the Carraclough family of training such dogs for fraud: "[I] know all about yer and yer come-home dogs. Training 'em to break loose and run right back 'ome when they're sold, so then ye can sell 'em to someone else." Thus, "Lassie Come-Home" should not be construed as an imperative phrase, but as anastrophe (the inversion of normal syntax, as in "enemy mine" or "riches untold"). Film adaptations of the novel do not include the hyphen.
