Most Loyal Dog in the World

Greyfriars Bobby, a Skye Terrier, is remembered for his unwavering loyalty to his owner, John Gray.

After Gray’s death in 1858, Bobby refused to leave his master’s grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard, spending 14 years by his side until his own death in 1872.

This remarkable devotion captured the hearts of locals and visitors alike in Edinburgh, Scotland, leading to the creation of a memorial statue in his honor.

Erected in 1873, the statue depicts Bobby sitting faithfully by Gray’s gravestone, symbolizing loyalty and love.

The monument has since become a popular tourist attraction, drawing those interested in both the touching story and the history of Edinburgh. Today, Bobby’s legacy continues to inspire tales of loyalty and the bond between humans and their pets.
