Greyfriars Bobby

Greyfriars Bobby

 Bobby, a Skye terrrier, belonged to an Edinburgh policeman, Jock Gray, who was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in 1858. Loyal to the last, Bobby refused to leave his side and kept constant vigil by his master's grave. He was adopted by the locals, became an Edinburgh folk hero, and when he died 14 years later, special dispensation was given for Bobby to be buried alongside Jock.
