What is Greyfriars Bobby about?

While exploring Edinburgh, Tom and Becky discover a plaque honouring Bobby, a small dog whose extraordinary loyalty touched a whole city. More than a hundred years ago, Bobby belonged to a watchman named Jock. After Jock died, Bobby returned every day to his master's grave in Greyfriars churchyard, refusing to leave him behind. Through the children's eyes, this beautifully illustrated true story brings Bobby's fourteen-year vigil to life and shows how one faithful dog became a lasting Scottish legend.
