Do you know the story of Bobby? When John Gray died Bobby stayed on his tomb and never left until he died 13 years later. A good friend of John Gray would bring him food day in and day out. However, when Bobby died the people couldn't decide whether to bury him next to his master in the church graveyard because they said that they were not sure what his religion was. So instead thy buried him just outside the gate.
Up to this day, people still bring Bobby some gifts like flowers, stuff toys and even lottery tickets supposedly to bring luck.
Here's Bobby's tomb which also contains red, the shoes of our tour guide.

I didn't know this story; thanks for sharing it along with the photos.
Wow that is some kind of a sad story...truly if you find a real friend it is a treasure to keep!!
My Ruby Tuesday is here
What a wonderful story!
The dog was his master's best friend. Such loyalty you would not see often between people anymore. But a truer friend to Mister Gray could never exist, but Bobby did. A fitting tribute is this bar/restaurant and the diners remember the doggie - fittingly!
Thanks for sharing the story, your tour guide has pretty shoes!

I had heard this story; seems as though it has become a legend!
It's such a great story and more wonderful for being real. Thanks for sharing the story and your visit. I think I would have buried him next to his master, but they didn't ask me and I'm sure he probably doesn't really care. He's home with his person again.
so touching.. I have just heard it from you.. Thank you for sharing such lovely story of a dog's faithfulness to his master..
Didn't know that story. Would love to go there one day. Happy RT.
