I found ! Didn't he used to be on a stone plinth next to the path? (Around the late 80s?) Or am I just remembering it wrong? Maybe he was always in the flower bed! Anyway, here's to the loyalty of dogs πŸ˜πŸΆπŸ•

Happy Birthday to Greyfriars Bobby, the little dog who captured hearts in 19th century Edinburgh. After his owner's death, Bobby spent 14 years guarding his grave in all weather conditions. Looked after by the curator and fed by locals, he became a symbol of loyalty and devotion. This statue outside Greyfriars Kirkyard honors his memory.

If you've visited , you probably saw Greyfriars Bobby statue, and even rubbed the dog's shiny nose. Here's the full story behind it - it starts with a dog whose owner died, and ends with a twist as a statue of a dog is commissioned.
