''Greyfriars Bobby'' is a 1961 Creator/{{Disney}} live-action film starring Donald Crisp and Laurence Naismith, based on the 1912 novel of the same name by Eleanor Atkinson, which in turn was ([[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory loosely]]) based on real events in [[UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}} Edinburgh]] in the 1860s.
Auld Jock (Alex Mackenzie), a shepherd, has lost his job at a farm and gone to Edinburgh to find a new job. He's followed by a Skye Terrier named Bobby, who belongs to his former employer but thinks he belongs to Auld Jock. Jock takes sick and dies of pneumonia, and is buried in Greyfriars Churchyard. Bobby tries to stand guard over his grave, but there's one problem: dogs are strictly forbidden, and the caretaker, James Brown (Crisp), puts him out.
John Traill (Naismith), the owner of a dining room where Jock used to have his dinner who blames himself for Jock's death, feeds Bobby and finds ways to smuggle him into the churchyard, to the annoyance of Mr. Brown. And then a law is passed that requires all dogs to be licensed, a policeman notices that Bobby has no collar, and Mr. Traill finds himself in court charged with owning or harbouring a dog on which he has not paid the license tax.
