Red Dog would now like to travel further afield hopefully taking in the world before returning to his beloved home in the Pilbara of Western Australia.
RED DOG
The Pilbara Wanderer (Karratha/Dampier Western Australia)
Born in 1971, Red Dog, a Kelpie/Cattle dog cross. He was originally owned by a young miner who lost his life in a tragic motor cycle accident. Following his masters death Red Dog lived a life roaming the Pilbara befriending anyone who would offer him a feed or a ride. He belonged to no-one and would often sit by the roadside, hitch a ride somewhere and refuse to get out of the vehicle until reaching the destination of his choice.
Red Dog was known by many of the locals throughout the Pilbara and he travelled to many locations including Karratha, Dampier, Roebourne, Point Sampson, Port Hedland, Tom Price, Paraburdoo, Broome and even Perth. He had an amazing homing instinct, always returning to either Dampier or Karratha where he preferred to base himself.
Red Dog died in November 20th, 1979, it is believed he had been poisonned by strychnine bait.
