The famous classic Scottish tale based on the true story of a dog's
lifetime devotion to his master, first published in 1912, loved and
widely read the world over. 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 master's grave in
Greyfriars Kirkyard in the heart of Edinburgh's 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. Bobby's 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 dog's loyalty
is rewarded in a very special way.
