Mungkin kita sudah sering ya menemukan cerita tentang hewan, khususnya peliharaan, yang menyentuh hati. Tapi kalau kalian ngga bosen-bosennya sama alur heart warming kayak gitu, musti deh baca klasik ini. Dari catatan penulis aku tahu, ini diangkat dari kisah nyata tahun 1800-an. Greyfriars Bobby anjing mungil skye terrier paling setia pada jamannya.
Buku ini ditulis pada tahun 1900-an, mengambil latar cerita yang sama yaitu Edinburgh. Pada saat itu dikisahkan sangat sulit bagi peliharaan untuk 'tidak mempunyai pemilik'. Sedangkan Bobby sendiri, tidak ingin dimiliki siapapun. Kecuali tuannya yang sudah berselimut tanah kubur. Dari sudut pandang penulis, aku bisa merasakan Bobby sangatlah berani, banyak akal dan penuh kasih kepada manusia-manusia yang menyayanginya. Petualangan-petualangan yang dialami Bobby penuh liku. Banyak juga yang mengigininya dengan alasan egois. Namun pada akhirnya Bobby selalu bisa kembali pulang :') /Nangis seember/

Oh, I loved this book. I never read it as a child and to be honest it probably would have been lost on me through the language. Not the dialect, though even as a Scot some of it was too thick for me to translate, but as a child I was more into Point Horror and The Babysitters Club.
Enough about me though, and let's talk about the wee sonsie doggie. I've never read something where the character was so well crafted and who attached themselves so deeply to the reader without a single word spoken or thought shared. I could practically hear his little feet padding about and the slap of his ears as he shook himself. I fell in love with Bobby, and his heartbreaking story.
And the story is so richly told, it's no wonder it has lasted the generations. Such a simple tale, but one that will never get old. I've got picture books and abridged versions of this story to share with my children, as I don't think they should wait until adulthood like I did to discover this book.
