• May include: A Golden Book cover featuring a colorful illustration of Lassie, a Collie dog, running through a grassy field. The title "Lassie and The Secret Friend" is printed in red letters.
  • May include: A children's book titled "Lassie and The Secret Friend" by Kennon Graham, illustrated by Bob Schaar. The cover features a colorful illustration of a collie dog and a bald eagle.
  • May include: A brown and white Collie dog stands on a grassy hilltop overlooking a forest and a ranger station in the distance. The text reads: "Lassie stood on a high bluff in the Blue River National Forest. Far below her, she could see the ranger station where Bob Ericson worked. This was the kind of day Lassie liked best. A cool breeze blew against her face. The afternoon was perfect for exploring."
  • May include: A colorful illustration of a dog, a squirrel, and two blue jays in a forest setting. The dog is brown and white and is running through a grassy meadow. The squirrel is sitting on a branch and holding a nut. The blue jays are perched on a branch and are looking at something on the ground. The text in the image reads: "Turning from the bluff, she walked in the shade of towering lodgepole pines to a nearby meadow. A huge bee buzzed around her, and she followed it home to its honey tree. The trunk was split open. Claw marks showed that a bear had discovered where the bees lived."
  • May include: A book illustration of a collie dog running away from a bald eagle with a wide open beak. The next page shows a collie dog with a family at a campground. The text reads, "With her eyes wide and her beak open, the eagle fell back in the grass and stared at Lassie. Lassie stared, too. She had never seen an eagle so close. This one looked hungry. Without food, she would surely grow weaker and die. Something must be done as quickly as possible. Lassie hurried away in search of food. At a campground, Lassie stopped to see some new friends, the Millers. "Hi, Lassie!" John Miller called. "You're just in time for lunch!"
  • May include: A colorful illustration from a children's book shows a collie dog dropping a piece of meat for a bald eagle perched on a tree branch. The dog is lying down in the grass, watching the eagle eat. The text reads, "When Lassie returned to the clearing, she dropped the meat in the grass where the eagle could easily reach it. Then she lay down to watch. The eagle cocked her head from the food to the dog. Lassie didn't stir. At last the starving bird began to eat the meat. After the eagle finished her meal, she felt strong enough to make it to the lowest limb of the tree. She would be safer there. Lassie stood up. It was time to go home to the ranger station for the night."
  • May include: A brown bear with a menacing expression stands in a green forest. The bear is looking directly at the viewer. The text "There was no way to escape!" is printed below the bear.
  • May include: A book illustration depicting a scene from a story about a dog, a bear, and an eagle. The dog is a brown and white Collie, the bear is brown, and the eagle is white-headed with brown wings. The eagle is flying above the bear, which is running away from the dog.
  • May include: A man in a green uniform with a patch that says "U.S.A. Forest Service" smiles at a brown and white collie dog. The man is sitting on a grassy hill with trees in the background. The dog is looking to the right of the image.
