Could you or any one known to you'who may have a copy let me know how I may get it? I would be most grateful. I already have a copy of a small book by Beverley Duckett, but it is the original that I am looking for. Regards, Peter.

He would often "flag down" our car asking for alift. I also saw him many times on the work buses and he had the run of the Pilbara. Everyone loved him and would give him a lift or a feed, whenever he asked. I wrote an article titled "Red the Hitchhiker" which was published in the Women's Weekly in 1978 - November issue I think. I hadn't realised he had become such a famous dog, with his own bronze statue and everything. I feel very privileged to have known Red Dog and I still have a clear image of that rough old head and dusty red coat. Vale old fella.
