Greyfriars Bobby adalah anjing kecil berbulu kusut yang tak dapat dipisahkan dari Auld Jock, pemiliknya, seorang gembala baik hati dan sederhana. Ketika Auld Jock meninggal setelah melalui sekian banyak musim dingin, Bobby sangat sedih. Anjing tidak diperbolehkan memasuki halaman gereja sekaligus pekuburan. Namun Bobby yang berani dan banyak akal itu bertekad memenangkan simpati Mr. Brown, si penjaga kuburan berwajah muram, supaya diperbolehkan tidur di atas makam Auld Jock yang disayanginya. Masih banyak hambatan yang harus diatasinya, namun Bobby selalu setia menjaga makam tuannya.

Bobby, a sparky, silver-haired Skye terrier, adopts Auld Jock, a worn-out simple shepherd, as his master. Jock is let go by the farmer and dies in poverty, having suffered one winter too many. The farmer tries to reclaim Bobby as a pet for his daughter, but the dog owes allegiance only to Auld Jock, guarding his grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard. His devotion changes the lives of those around him and ultimately the conditions of the poor in Edinburgh. Bobby's loyalty is eventually rewarded, and he becomes a famous dog indeed!
