Two children discover a special drinking fountain for people and dogs in Edinburgh, and the inscription on the stone leads them to discover the tale of Greyfriar's Bobby, the little dog who was so faithful to his master, Old Jock, that her refused to leave his graveside when the old man died. The good people of Edinburgh took the little dog into their hearts, fed him scraps and gave him special permission to live in the graveyard. The memory of Bobby's 14 year vigil lives on as each new generation discovers the moving story. The classic tale of Greyfriar's Bobby is brought vividly to life by Ruth Brown's accomplished illustrations.
