The first Lassie character was called 'Pal' where as there has been many descendants of this astonishing movie phenominon!
Lassie, the fictional character, made her first appearance in a short story called "Lassie Come-Home" published in 1938. However, the character was originally created by Eric Knight in 1938, so you can say that Lassie was "born" in that year.
To date there have been ten Lassies with ten different birthdays. The first Lassie, from the 1943 Movie, "Lassie, Come Home," (played by "Pal") was born June 4, 1940.
