Fictional collie created in a 1938 short story by Eric Knight (6)

I believe the answer is:

lassie

(Other definitions for lassie that I've seen before include "Young Scottish female" , "Movie role for several dog stars" , "girl found" , "Film and TV dog" , "TV series collie dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
