Bobby!

BBC4's Saturday Play featured Greyfriar's Bobby, an amazing skye terrier, who is very much part of the history of Edinburgh city.... do listen to it before it goes 'offline' from the website.... it's probably not the real story but it protrays the courage and loyalty of this wee dog that is legendary.
