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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI hope my cat never finds out that I have written a story to celebrate the life of a dog.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Bubble\/Old School Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43493345460460,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/8930\/2764\/products\/RD-LdB-01-P1.jpg?v=1669302320","url":"https:\/\/bookbubble.co.uk\/products\/louis-de-bernieres-red-dog","provider":"Book Bubble\/Old School Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
