Red Dog 

Red Dog was believed to have been born in the town of Paraburdoo, Western Australia in 1971.^[5]

Red Dog was called by a variety of names by those who knew him, including Bluey, Tally Ho, and Dog of the Northwest.^[6]Tally Ho was his first name, given to him by Colin Cummings, who is believed to have been his first owner, and brought him to Dampier. The nickname “Red Dog” has been attributed to the red dirt of the Pilbara Region (although “red dog” is a common nickname for red kelpies and heelers, much in the same way as “blue dog” or “Bluey” is a common nickname for the Australian cattle dog).

His second owner was John Stazzonelli, a bus driver with Hamersley Iron, who took the dog with him in his bus. With John, Red Dog traveled as far as Perth, Broome, Roebourne, Point Samson and Port Hedland.^[7]

Following Stazzonelli’s death in 1975, Red Dog spent a lot of time traveling on his own. He was also taken in by many members of the community, and a veterinarian who treated him. Each time he visited the vet, it was with a new owner.^[6] Red was made a member of the Dampier Salts Sport and Social Club and the Transport Workers’ Union, and was also given a bank account with the Bank of New South Wales, which was said to have used him as a mascot, with the slogan “If Red banks at the Wales, then you can too.”^[6]

Although Red Dog was well liked, it is believed that he was deliberately poisoned in 1979 with strychnine.^[8]

Red Dog was buried, by veterinarian Rick Fenny, in a secret unmarked grave around Roebourne, Western Australia.^[9][10]
