there was a dog from edinburgh bobby was his name
a dog so loyal and true oneday would find fame
his owner was called john and needed company
on his watchman nights a lonely man was he
bought himself a dog so he could have a friend
his dog he gave his friendship till the very end
winter nights were cold and damp. took its toll on john
he devevoped TB bobbies friend passed on
buried at grey friars in the cemetery
bobby stayed there with him where longed to be
every night and day never ever left side
till the very end when bobby to had died
they made a statue of bobby in his memory
a dog that gave his love and his loyalty
a dog who loved his owner till the very end
right there at the graveside of his loving friend
this poem his factual and true story
of a dogs loyalty and friendship
who wouldnt leave his owners grave
till bobby died with him
they made a film called grey friars bobby
worth a watch its good tear jerker

I haven’t seen the film Jim, but the wonderful story of Grey friars Bobby is well known. Tremendous loyalty dogs show towards their owners. Touches the heart. Your poem is a lovely warm read, tinged with sadness as both of them have now gone. Have a lovely Tuesday Jim. Sun is shining.
Thanks for the link.
hi cassie i watched the film a long time ago
it was good they tried to move the dog from cemetry but it kept going back so they give up

He was a Skye Terrier who became known in the 19th century for (as legend has it) spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner, until his own death on 14 January 1872. Today the story of the beloved Greyfriars Bobby is part and parcel of Edinburgh history.
A beautiful story Jim. Will see if I can watch the film tomorrow. Been busy today.
ok must have been a really amazing dog
hope you ok ready for tomorrows gardening
supposed to be nice all week hope so xxx jim
