Now a beloved Australian film starring Josh Lucas and Rachael Taylor, Red Dog is based on a legendary true story of a red cattle dog who found widespread fame as he travelled around Western Australia.
While visiting Western Australia, Louis de Bernieres, the bestselling British author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin, heard the legend of Red Dog and decided to do some research on this extraordinary story. After meeting countless people who'd known and loved Red Dog, Louis decided to spread Red Dog's fame a little further.
This utterly charming tale sees this lovable dog uniting a small Western Australian mining community, but also experiencing heartache as he loses his one true master.
