Red Dog by Louis de Bernières

'In Early 1998 I Went To Perth In Western Australia In Order To Attend The Literature Festival, And Part Of The Arrangement Was That I Should Go To Karratha To Do Their First Ever Literary Dinner. Karratha Is A Mining Town A Long Way Further North. The Landscape Is Extraordinary, Being Composed Of Vast Heaps Of Dark Red Earth And Rock Poking Out Of The Never-Ending Bush. I Imagine That Mars Must Have A Similar Feel To It. I Went Exploring And Discovered The Bronze Statue To Red Dog Outside The Town Of Dampier. I Felt Straight Away That I Had To Find Out More About This Splendid Dog. A Few Months Later I Returned To Western Australia And Spent Two Glorious Weeks Driving Around Collecting Red Dog Stories And Visiting The Places That He Knew, Writing Up The Text As I Went Along. I Hope My Cat Never Finds Out That I Have Written A Story To Celebrate The Life Of A Dog.'.
