The farmer tries to reclaim Bobby as a pet for his daughter but the little dog remains faithful only to Auld Jock, guarding his master''s grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard in the heart of Edinburgh''s old town
By day, he plays with the local orphans and eats at a nearby tavern but, in spite of anything even the Lord Provost himself can do, Bobby returns each night to sleep by his master.
Bobby''s devotion changes the lives of those around him and ultimately the conditions of the poor in EdinburghAnd as the years go by, the little dog''s loyalty is rewarded in a very special way.
