Description: This book tells the unforgettable true story of Greyfriar's Bobby, the loyal Skye terrier who became a local legend in 1858 Edinburgh. In the wake of his owner's sudden death, Bobby refused to leave his master's graveside, spending the next fourteen years guarding the spot with unwavering devotion. The author sets this moving tale against the backdrop of Victorian-era Edinburgh, a place of squalid slums and magnificent architecture, populated by a cast of unforgettable characters. The story not only immortalizes Bobby's extraordinary loyalty but also explores themes of love, loss, and the enduring nature of companionship, cementing Bobby's place as a beloved icon of loyalty and a testament to the unbreakable bond between humans and animals.
