I'm Lassies biggest fan mainly because I know Jon Provost fairly well. Enough to know he has some canine in his DNA. He understands the relationship between dogs and people implicitly. Watching Jon interact with dogs has been loved by generations of viewers since his career-making role as Timmy in the Lassie TV series. Since his early acting days gracing screens from not-quite-three Jon has seen it all. But nowadays he's a humanitarian and expert on the benefits of using animals for companionship as well as psychological health. I support Jon in all that he does.
