Roberta begins to worry when she hears news reports of "monster footprints" in the same wooded area where Lassie and Laddie are hiking. The police and scientists investigate, only to discover the footprints were created by Dinny the dog: Lassie and Laddie tied baseball gloves to his feet to protect his paws from thorns.
