The City of Edinburgh is abundantly rich in culture and history, but surely there is nothing that touches the heart like the loyalty and devotion of this wee Skye Terrier. I’m speculating here, but maybe the casting folk just had to use a Westie. They look kinda Scottish as well as cute in a grumpy way – and there are lots of them about. Anyway, whatever the breed, take a look at the 1981 red granite memorial in Greyfriars, just round the corner from the dog’s statue, and you’ll see Bobby is as popular as ever. Much of the film location work was actually around Stirling Castle. Stirling Old Town kirkyard even stood in for Greyfriars. The famous dog statue that was erected soon afterwards is, or was, strictly speaking, a memorial drinking fountain with water on two levels – for horses and for, presumably, dogs.

Bobby ini mengingatkan saya pada Hachiko. OMG, anjing-anjing ini benar-benar menghancurleburkan sisi lemah diri saya.

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. 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 by Eleanor Atkinson | Waterstones

Greyfriars Bobby (4 May 1855 – 14 January 1872) was a Skye Terrier or Dandie Dinmont Terrier [1] who became known in 19th-century Edinburgh for spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner until he died on 14 January 1872.

There is more room for the poor children to play and have some adventures with the dog. The little lane on the left with the sun coming through is what Bobby would have traversed to reach the street, turning up just a few doors along at Traill’s eatery (now a phone & computer repair shop at No 6 – not this pub). It wasn’t a very long way between kirkyard and lunch. Wait, How Many Bobbys Were There? Berapa kali saya dibuat menangis oleh sebuah buku, lumayan sering terjadi. Sebab saya termasuk cengeng, gampang nangis. Terakhir, selain buku The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, saat membaca bagian menjelang akhir hayat Ibu Sudalmiyah Rais dalam Menapak Jejak Amien Rais, saya begitu terharu dan berpikir alangkah kecil dan tidak berartinya hidup kita ini, bahkan bisa dibilang percuma, jika karunia hidup yang diberikan Allah SWT dijalani tanpa mengingat-Nya ataupun memberi kebaikan dan manfaat bagi banyak orang. Perhaps Bobby represents all dogs – their unquestioning loyalty and faithfulness, especially when food is involved.
