This is the 147th anniversary of the death of Greyfriars Bobby. Bobby was the faithful pet of policeman John Gray. He guarded Gray's grave for 14 years after he died. The Lord Provost paid for his dog licence and he got a daily meal from a nearby cafe. The Dogs Trust and the City of Edinburgh Council organised the event along with the One O'Clock Gun Association. The dog took the sound of the gun as his cue to go for lunch. Children from George Heriot's School laid a wreath and piper Jennifer Hutcheon played her own specially composed tune Tribute to Greyfriars Bobby.

The true story of Greyfriars Bobby is known and loved the world over, but how many have heard of the quite similar story from China of Din Din the Dog? History doesn't record if anyone had explicitly told Din Din that his master Chu Ding Chow was on his death bed or if he had just sensed that this was the case, but Din Din was so saddened by the thought of being seperated from his master that he chose to throw himself into the family's hot wok in order to become a delicious and succulent last supper for his beloved owner. Ironically, the story goes that Chu Ding Chow was so moved and cheered by the dog's loyalty, tastiness and sacrifice that he himself went on to live another seven years.
