Bobby and his master,lived in the country near Edinburgh about a hundred years ago. Bobby’s master was a farmer. Bobby helped him to look after the sheep.
When Bobby’s master was very old, he went to live in Edinburgh. But he left the dog on the farm with the new master. Bobby loved his old master very much and soon he ran away and went to the city to find his old friend. He looked here and there and ran along the streets of the city and at last he found his master. The man was poor and ill. Bobby stayed with his friend. He often went with his master to a café and Mr. Trail, the owner of it, always had some food for the little dog.
Soon Bobby’s master died and people did not see the dog for some time. Then one day Mr. Trail saw Bobby near his café and gave him some food. Bobby took the food and ran away. The dog came to the café five or six times. He took the food that Mr. Trail gave him but did not eat it. He ran away with it in his mouth. One day Mr. Trail went after Bobby and came to the cemetery.
