Lassie #37

In "Farewell to Rio," Awanee, a proud tribal chief, holds deep suspicion toward white men and bans Dr. Chalmers’s clinic from helping his people. That changes when the doctor’s dog, Fortuno, risks his life to save Awanee’s drowning son, quietly bridging a divide built on fear. This heartfelt story, drawn in the distinctive style of Dell’s 1957 Lassie series, captures a quiet moment of trust forged in the most unexpected way.
