Pub. in England in 1985. A good re-telling of the history of Scotland's famous Skye-Terrier, Greyfriars Bobby - a little dog with staunch loyalty who won many friends. The whole family will enjoy this.

What an endearing true story about a dog's loyalty! Written for children 4 to 8, an easy read aloud book, and a great addition when learning about Great Britain.
