Greyfriars Bobby
Greyfriars Bobby remained loyal to his master, John Gray, even after John's death in 1858. For 14 years, faithful Bobby kept constant watch over the grave until his own death on Jan 14, 1872. William Brodie sculpted this life-sized statue of Greyfriars Bobby, and it was unveiled without ceremony in November 1873, opposite Greyfriars Kirkyard. It sits at the corner of Edinburgh's Candlemaker Row and George IV Bridge so that Scotland’s capital city will always remember its most famous and faithful dog. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
