I’ve visited Greyfriar’s and have seen the little grave of Bobby. He’s buried near his master (John Gray?) but not in consecrated ground. He was quite a dog - a little scrappy, actually - and was treated so kindly by the people of Edinburgh.

I gotta tell you, when it comes to love and admiration for our 4-legged friends, nobody can beat the Brits. I think we got that quality from them.
