This was the program that the boy fell in the well and his horse, Fury summoned help. This incident sparked the urban legend that Lassie saved Timmy when he fell in the well. That never happened on Lassie. This happened on Fury in the Boy Scout story episode.

The series FURY was one of the first TV series ever on German television.
Fury, whose name was actually Highland Dale, is the same horse that starred as "Wildfire" in The Return of Wildfire (1948).
