Frank Thrall Weatherwax (June 23, 1902 – December 17, 1991) was an American actor and animal trainer. He is best remembered with his brother Rudd Weatherwax for their famous collie, Pal, the dog who became famous as Lassie in the 1943 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film Lassie Come Home. He also trained the dog, Lightning, for the movie A Dog of Flanders, 1935 version. The Wikipedia article may be wrong when it says, "He also trained the dog, Lightning, for the movie A Dog of Flanders, 1935 version." I have no idea if he worked on the 1935 version, however, Spike, who played the title role in "Old Yeller", played the title role in the 1960 version of "A Dog of Flanders" with Donald Crisp and David Ladd.
