Based on a true story, Greyfriars Bobby is written for adults, but is no less popular with children. Its warmth and charm make it one of the most beloved animal tales. Greyfriars Bobby is a small shaggy dog which cannot be separated from Auld Jock, his owner, a kind and simple shepherd. When Auld Jock died after many winters together, Bobby was devastated. Dogs are not allowed on the church grounds as well as the cemetery. But the brave and clever Bobby is determined to win over Mr. Brown, the grim-faced grave keeper, to be allowed to sleep on the grave of his beloved Auld Jock. There are still many obstacles that must be overcome, but Bobby is always faithful to guard his master's grave.
