Greyfriars Bobby

Bobby, a long-haired Skye terrier belonged to John Gray, an Edinburgh policeman. Grey and Bobby were best friends, until the officer passed away from tuberculosis in 1858. When Bobby's master was buried in Greyfriars Cemetery, the dog accompanied his friend and lived for the following fourteen years in the Cemetery, next to his owner's grave, and hence why he is called Greyfriars Bobby.
