About this title: This is the famous true story of a devoted dog. Bobby, an active Skye Terrier, adores his master Auld Jock, and when the old man dies, Bobby refuses to leave his grave in Greyfriar's Churchyard in Edinburgh. By day, he plays with the local orphans and eats at a nearby tavern, but, in spite of anything even the Lord Provost himself can do, every night for fourteen years Bobby returns faithfully to sleep by his master.

"I read this when I was quite young and then re-read it a number of years ago. I cried both times! A beautifully written book, with detailed description."
"If you love dogs you will love this Scotish story of a dog totally devoted to his dead owner and what the dog went through in such devotion. This is based on a true story and there is even a statue in Edinbourgh, Scotland remembering this dog."
