Book Summary
Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this charming edition of Greyfriars Bobby. Relive the classic Scottish tale, based on a true story, of a dogs devotion to his master. Bobby, a sparky silver-haired Skye terrier, adopts lonely shepherd Auld Jock, for his master and the two become inseparable. When Jock is dismissed by the farmer he tries to find work in the city, but sinks into poverty and dies, having suffered one cold winter too many. The farmer tries to reclaim Bobby as a pet for his daughter but the little dog remains faithful only to Auld Jock, guarding his masters grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard in the heart of Edinburghs old town. 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, Bobby returns each night to sleep by his master. Bobbys devotion changes the lives of those around him and ultimately the conditions of the poor in Edinburgh. And as the years go by, the little dogs loyalty is rewarded in a very special way.
