A Persistent Dog.
Our Dumb Animals.l

Our Dumb Animals
More than eight years ago a DOOR
mar namod Gray died, and was buried
in the old Grey Friars' Churchyard,
Edingburgh. His grave is now lev
eled by time, and nothing marks it.
But the spot had not been forgotten
by his faithful dog. James Brown,
the old curator, remembers the fune-
raj well, and that Bobby was n of
the most conspicuous of mourners.
James found the dog lying on the
grave next morning and as dogs are
not admitted, he turned him out. The
second morning the same the third
morning, though cold and wet, there
he was, shivering. The old man took
pity on him, and fed him. This con-
vineed the dog hal he had a right
there. Sergeant Scott, r. H., allowed
him his board for a length of time,
but for more than six years he has
been as regularly fed by Mr.. Trail, who
keeps a restaurant close by. Bobby
is regular in his calls, being guided by
the midday gun. On the occasion Of
the new dog tax being raised, Mr..
Trail was called upon to pay for
Bobby. He would have done so had
the dog acknowledged him as his mas
ter, but he will attach himself to
no one. On hearing of the facts
of the case, the Lord Provost of
Edinburgh exempted him, and to mark
his admiration of fidelity, presented
him with a handsome collar with brass
nails, and an inscription: "Grey Fri
ars' Bobby, presented to him by the
Lord Provost of Edinburgh, 1867"
