Hi, I am reviewing this article and am impressed with how well written it is. And very interesting. My comments are the following:

• Why isn't there anything on the actual dogs that played the role of Lassie. How many, where they came from, who trained them etc.
• There are five fair use images. That is too many for an article. One, or perhaps even two can be justified, but no more than that.

• Reduced the number of images and swapped one out to one that showed Pal and Tommy. Miyagawa (talk) 19:47, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

• The dog information is mostly included in the Lassie article, although in this article it's mostly in the three paragraphs of the casting section. Although I did realize that it was missing from the Characters and Cast section, so I added an additional listing there for dog actors as Lassie. Miyagawa (talk) 19:47, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

• Very good. It is a wonderful article. Just two very minor comments:

  Writers - nothing more to say about who they were other than McCarthyism?

  "Lassie portrait friendship ring based on the one Uncle Petrie fashions for Timmy" - on one of the Uncle Petrie fashions for Timmy?

• I fixed the above to my suggestion " on one of the". Hope that's right. This is a wonderful and informative article. Xtzou (Talk) 14:24, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
