People in Louisville, Kentucky are calling this dog "Lassie" because they don't know his real name. Lassie fits, though, because the dog is a hero like the fictional female Collie. WLKY News reports that police searched a neighborhood for a missing 3-year old boy. The weather was cold and the boy was insufficiently dressed for it, so officers had a strong sense of urgency.
A local dog, who appears to be a stray, attracted the attention of one officer, who followed the dog into a home lot where a SUV was parked. The child had locked himself inside. Police freed him and took the child to safety.
