Greyfriars Bobby

By: Eleanor Atkinson Peter

Narrated by: Peter Newcombe Joyce

Bobby, a sparky, silver-haired Skye terrier, adopts Auld Jock, a worn-out simple shepherd, as his master. Jock is let go by the farmer and dies in poverty, having suffered one winter too many.

The farmer tries to reclaim Bobby as a pet for his daughter, but the dog owes allegiance only to Auld Jock, guarding his grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard. His devotion changes the lives of those around him and ultimately the conditions of the poor in Edinburgh.

Bobby's loyalty is eventually rewarded, and he becomes a famous dog indeed!

Great story!

Everything perfect! There really is nothing. I can say in criticism, one of Scotland’s greatest legends comes to life!

Heartwarming Book of Love and Loyalty

Greyfriars Bobby is one of the most heartwarming books of love and loyalty I’ve ever read. A story of a dog who shows us all the great value of every person, even an old forgotten shepherd.

To All the Bobbies of the world

Such a magnificent and splendid tale about spirit, compassion and joie de vivre ! Captivating and brilliantly written in dialect befitting for Bobby

A Beautiful Story!

The narrator did such a good job that I listened to Bobby's story from start to finish. When I die, I am going to ask God to let me meet Greyfriar's Bobby.
