Red Dog (c. 1971 ā 21 November 1979) was a kelpie/cattle dog cross that was well known for his travels through Western Australia's vast Pilbara region. Red Dog had a series of owners and lengthy periods travelling on his own, essentially becoming a beloved friend and mascot of the greater Pilbara community. A statue was installed in his memory in Dampier, one of the towns to which he often returned.[1][2] He is frequently referred to as a "red kelpie"[3] or a "red cloud kelpie".[4]
