Carol Riggins and Lassie on the set of the Cinar series 1998

When Lassie 8 was unable to go back to Canada to finish out the 13 episodes of the Cinar series, HeyHey, the current Official 9th generation Lassie, and son of Lassie 8, was hand picked to take his place, thus following the continuing legacy of Lassie passing the torch from father to son. Hey Hey continues in the role of the Official Lassie today.
