Bobby soon touched the hearts of the local residents when he refused to leave his master’s grave, even in the worst weather conditions. This is an odd aspect of the story – as Traill was benefiting so much from his association with a celebrity dog – yet he wouldn’t pay to save him. The Lord Provost’s gesture made Bobby even more famous, following media coverage. However, the Lord Provost, Sir William Chambers, stepped in. He personally paid the fee, on the grounds that the Town Council owned the burial ground and tolerated the dog who stayed there.

The story continues to be well known in Scotland, through several books and films. A prominent commemorative statue and nearby graves are a tourist attraction.

Look at pictures of ‘modern’ Skye terriers and they seem to all be blinded by a great fringe of hair. Hmm. Consequently, they look a bit inscrutable. In short, the dog took residence in and around Greyfriars kirkyard, where his master had been laid to rest – but did not necessarily stay each night below a table gravestone adjacent to his master’s grave.Bacaan akhir tahun yang menghangatkan di tengah hujan yang akhir-akhir ini sering turun. Manis, dramatis, dan semi-tragis. The story has attracted the attention of many other authors, among them the Scottish writer and historian, the late Forbes Macgregor, who published ‘Greyfriars Bobby: the Real Story at Last’, revised in 2002. Greyfriars Bobby Fountain, the fountain includes a life-size statue of Greyfriars Bobby created by William Brodie in 1872, financed by Baroness Burdett-Coutts of the Coutts banking family. The monument is Edinburgh's smallest listed structure. Kalau di Jepang ada yang namanya Hachiko kalau di Inggris ada yang namanya Bobby. Pada awalnya membaca buku ini terasa menjemukan. Tampaknya saya selalu bermasalah dengan novel Inggris Klasik (Masih mendingan membaca novel Russia Klasik). Tetapi adegan demi adegan muncul apalagi ketika kesetiaan si Bobby menunggu makam tuannya selama 14 tahun membuat hati ini rasanya tercekat :'(

Greyfriars Bobby: A Heartwarming Tale Story of Greyfriars Bobby: A Heartwarming Tale

It’s a well-known tale – how a faithful little dog would not leave his master’s grave. It caught the imagination of the sentimental Victorians almost as soon as Bobby had taken up residence in Greyfriars Kirkyard. Bobby yg nyaris dilenyapkan krn sbg anjing tak bertuan, mendapatkan banyak anak-anak di sekitar Greyfriar yg menyayanginya bersusah payah mengumpulkan uang 7 shilling demi Bobby yg mereka sayangi. Petualangan Bobby ke Benteng Castle yg nyaris membuat kakinya cacat, membuat saya makin tergugah akan kesetiaannya. Tak peduli hujan kabut dan aral melintang, Bobby terus bertekad utk pulang ke pemakaman tsb, ke tempat tidur majikannya yg sudah lama berpulang. Greyfriars Bobby is likely to have been a different breed of terrier than previously thought, a new book suggests. The Scottish dialect was difficult to discern at times and, I admit, I had to reread a few times. That was the main thing that hindered my enjoyment. The story takes place in the mid 1800's in Scotland. Greyfriars is the name of the cemetery. Bobby is named after the Scottish poet Robert Burns who the Scots affectionately call Bobby. Eleanor Atkinson has each character speak in the Scottish dialogue. This was initially quite a challenge to understand, but eventually it became like a game to determine what was said and I learned a few Scottish words along the way too.Tidak menyesal membaca novel ini di akhir tahun, dan aku pengen cari tahu lagi kisah-kisah klasik seperti ini yang melibatkan hewan di dalamnya. With 60 breeders in the Edinburgh area, the dandie dinmont terrier was extremely popular in Scotland at the time, whereas skye terriers – now one of the most endangered dog breeds in Britain – tended to be confined to the Isle of Skye, about 250 miles away.
