Bobby is the much-loved companion of policeman John Gray (Thomas Lockyer). The film opens with Bobby defending his master against an escaped bull, which is causing mayhem in a street market. The incident also creates a friendship between Gray and Ewan, a young boy, whom Gray and his wife Maureen take under their matrimonial wing. When Gray dies as a result of a stab wound in the course of his duties, Ewan looks after the dog, who insists on taking up residence at his late master's grave, earning his keep by catching rats in the graveyard. The Adventures of Greyfriar’s Bobby is a wonderfully touching tale of friendship and loyalty and the unique bond that develops between a child and their pet.
