Lassie #3/1980

In "Skipbrudden," Lassie and her friends set off on a cross-country journey from Maine to Florida aboard Mr. Carver’s power cruiser, their adventure marked by the sea and the open road. Along for the ride is Mr. Ralph Jager, a staff illustrator who quietly harbors a dislike for dogs, setting up a quiet tension as the trip unfolds.

In the wilds of Matto Grosso, Lassie and her companions return to the homestead expecting to find Lalo, the caretaker, only to be met by Pablo Mira and two thieftakers accusing Lalo of murdering Mira’s partner, Tomas. With tension rising and loyalty tested, the quiet farmstead becomes the center of a dangerous mystery that forces Lassie and her friends to uncover the truth before justice is wrongfully served.
