Why read it?
1 author picked Greyfriars Bobby as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This made an enormous impression on me. You will not get through it dry-eyed. Whenever I come across any highland terrier on any street anywhere, I remember little Bobby sleeping for fourteen cold long years beside the grave of Auld Jock and I see all the great love that a dog can have for his human. A classic, based on a true story, published first in 1912.
From Sam's list on the bond between a dog and his human.
