Greyfriars Bobby (1912) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164178958)

Greyfriars Bobby is a heartwarming tale based on a true story that takes place in Edinburgh, Scotland in the 19th century. The story follows a loyal Skye Terrier named Bobby who becomes the faithful companion of his owner, a night watchman named John Gray. When John passes away, Bobby refuses to leave his grave and becomes a fixture in the Greyfriars Kirkyard cemetery. Despite attempts from the authorities to remove him, Bobby remains steadfast and is eventually taken in by the kind-hearted people of Edinburgh who care for him and make sure he is fed and sheltered.
