Greyfriars Bobby

A heartwarming tale of loyalty, love, and the unbreakable bond between a man and his dog, Greyfriars Bobby is the beloved true story that has touched readers around the world for over a century.

When Auld Jock, an aging shepherd, loses his job, he moves to Edinburgh in search of work. But the city is harsh, and he falls into poverty, his only comfort a spirited little Skye terrier named Bobby. When Jock passes away one bitter winter, Bobby’s devotion does not waver—he refuses to leave his master’s grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard. By day, he plays with local orphans and finds food at a nearby tavern, but every night, through wind and rain, he returns to the graveside, keeping watch over the man he loved.

Despite efforts to claim or move him—even by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh himself—Bobby’s loyalty remains steadfast. His faithfulness captures the hearts of the townspeople, inspiring kindness and change in the lives of those around him. In the end, the little dog’s devotion is rewarded in the most extraordinary way.
