Red Dog is a West Australian, a lovable friendly red kelpie who found
widespread fame as a result of his habit of travelling all over Western
Australia, hitching rides over thousands of miles, settling in places
for months at a time and adopting new families before heading off again
to the next destination and another family--sometimes returning to say
hello years later.
While visiting Australia, Louis de Bernières heard the legend of Red Dog
and decided to do some research on this extraordinary story. After
travelling to Western Australia and meeting countless people who'd known
and loved Red Dog, Louis decided to spread Red Dog's fame a little
further. The result is an utterly charming tale of an amazing dog with
places to go and people to see.
