Greyfriars Bobby (1961)... the true story about a Skye terrier or Dandie Dinmont Terrier, based upon the 1912 novel Greyfriars Bobby by Eleanor Atkinson which was based, in turn, upon an incident in 19th century Edinburgh involving a dog that came to be known as Greyfriars Bobby (4 May 1855 – 14 January 1872)
Greyfriars Bobby became known for spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner until he died on 14 January 1872. The story continues to be well known in Scotland, through several books and films. A prominent commemorative statue and nearby graves are a tourist attraction.
As a child, I enjoyed Walt Disney’s production. The story, itself, demonstrates the loyalty of animals.

The film's portrayal is charming and I visited the commemorative statue when I went to Edinburgh. ENJOY!
