Description:

This story is about a dog in Aberdeen, Scotland, which demonstrated phenomenal loyalty to his adopted master. His master was an elderly grave keeper who took the mange-infected dog on as a pet. After many years, the old man died, but the dog (Greyfriars Bobby) would not leave the grave of his master, except to find food, until the dog also died of old age. There is a monument to the dog in the city square at Aberdeen.
