An important place on the world list of dog monuments is occupied by the small but quite famous Greyfriars Bobby monument in Edinburgh.
This dog is supposedly the smallest officially protected immovable monument in the capital of Scotland. Greyfriars Bobby, because that is the name of this dog, was supposed to exist in reality. This Skye Terrier gained fame thanks to Eleanor Atkinson's book "Bobik od franciszkanów". Even more fame was added by the 1961 Disney film: "Greyfriars Bobby: The True Story of a Dog".

When John Gray died, he was buried in Greyfriars Cemetery, and the story goes that his dog Bobby spent every night for the next 14 years sleeping on his master's grave.
