Description

An enchanting retelling of the famous true story of Greyfriars Bobby

Not for Bobby a quiet lapdog's life! As soon as he gets the chance, the scruffy little Skye terrier is out in the fresh air, running about the Pentland Hills and pestering Auld Jock the shepherd. And like it or not, Auld Jock is well and truly stuck with him!

This is the remarkable story about a small dog, who was so devoted to his master that he remained faithful to the very end.
