Greyfriars Bobby

This cute statue in Edinburgh is in honour of a real dog. He's known for spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner until his own death.

Ah, Greyfriars Bobby. We learned about him in primary school. :-) Some people believe that touching his nose brings luck ... hence his shiny snout!

So sweet...so sad. Reminds me of Hachi in Japan who went to the train station every day for nine years, waiting for his owner who had died. I cried and cried...
