Show Scots All Lovers of Dogs. Scotland is a groat sheep-growing country, yet it loves the dog; gives him his due in life and reveres him in death. At the castle in Edinburgh there is a little plot of ground where the dogs of the Scottish soldiers are buried ; it is a charming spot, and on many little tombstones there are tender ten-der tributes to departed friends. In front of Saint Giles cathedral in the same noble city, there is a monument to n little skye terrier, and upon it, carved in stone, an inscription to Rob-bio, Rob-bio, who refused to leave the church yard whero his master was buried, and died upon his grave. |
