About this product

Product Information

The famous true story of a devoted dog first published in 1912, loved and widely read all over the world. The famous true story of a devoted dog first published in 1912, loved and widely read all over the world.Bobby, a sparky silver-haired Skye terrier, adopts lonely shepherd Auld Jock, for his master and the two become inseparable. When Jock is dismissed by the farmer he tries to find work in the city, but sinks into poverty and dies, having suffered one cold winter too many. The farmer tries to reclaim Bobby as a pet for his daughter but the little dog remains faithful only to Auld Jock, guarding his master's grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard in the heart of Edinburgh's old town. By day, he plays with the local orphans and eats at a nearby tavern but, in spite of anything even the Lord Provost himself can do, Bobby returns each night to sleep by his master. Bobby's devotion changes the lives of those around him and ultimately the conditions of the poor in Edinburgh. And as the years go by, the little dog's loyalty is rewarded in a very special way.

    A problem free purchase, with the book arriving within the delivery estimate, securely packaged, as described and in stated condition. Communication was prompt, friendly, and professional throughout the entire process. I have found this seller to be reliable and offers good value. The book itself was in good condition and was of good quality. I have bought several books from this seller in the past and would not hesitate to do so again.

    This seller has been extremely helpful. The booklets/magazines I ordered are personally valuable to me. Part of the positive experience is because the seller has an amazing selection. I hope to be ordering again soon. I appreciated the quality of packaging for the shipping that was used, ensuring safe arrival from the U.K.. Almost all the magazines (56) were better than described. I also appreciate how willing the seller was to work with me, being flexible, and easy to communicate with.

    Title OK

    Book cover is in extremely POOR CONDITION - very creased, scruffy and unattractive. I didn't spend much on this Xmas Stocking filler but nevertheless it was still very disappointing. It is OKish but only because the inner pages are clean without creases.
