Product Description
Bobby, an active Skye terrier, adores his master Auld Jock, and when the old man dies, Bobby refuses to leave his grave in Greyfriars Churchyard in Edinburgh. By day, he plays with the local orphans and eats at a nearby tavern, and every night for fourteen years Bobby returns faithfully to sleep by his master.

Dovile (Lithuania) (2008/06/24):
If you love dogs, then this book is just for you. It's based on real events, and it's a touching story about a dog's devotion to its dead master, and how that changed other peoples' lives.
There's a really useful short glossary of Scottish words at the end of the book, but if English is not your native language and you're a beginner at it, the book might be a bit difficult to read because of all the expressions in Scottish dialect.
