Based on the true and heart-warming story of one man’s faithful dog, this version might well have a happier ending – but don’t say we spoiled it for you! Ewan, a lonely young boy, befriends Scottish Terrier Bobby, little imagining that the dog’s adventures will make them both famous. Starring Gina McKee, Greg Wise and Christopher Lee, and introducing Oliver Golding as Ewan.

UK 2005 Dir. John Henderson 103 min.

This film is part of the LCFF's Official Selection

and here are the reviews from the LCFF's First Light Young Jury:

Greyfriars Bobby is a film about a dog who loves his owner who’s a policeman who dies. Bobby has to fight for his life. My favourite scene is when the dog goes into the cemetery (to visit his owner’s grave), gets kicked out, comes back, gets kicked out, comes back, gets kicked out… My favourite character is Bobby, because he’s got spirit!
Michael, 11

Bobby the dog is my favourite character because of how they trained the 5 dogs (who played Bobby) to get him to, for example, pee at the right time. This film is a U but should be a PG because it has some scary moments.
