Grey Friars Bobby

Film: GreyFriars Bobby (2006)
Name: Bobby
Breed of Dog: Skye Terrier
Film Trivia: True Story adapted to film. Bobby’s owner, John Gray, worked for the Edinburgh Police Department as a night watchman until he died of tuberculosis on 15 February 1858. Bobby, who survived with John for 14 years, is said to have spent the rest of his life sitting on his master’s grave. Today, a small statue of Greyfriars Bobby stands in front of a pub, also called Greyfriars Bobby, which is located in front of Greyfriars kirkyard. Although the true story of this loyal canine refers to Bobby as a Skye Terrier the film actually uses a West highland Terrier to play the main role this lead to a lot of critisicm.
