Oxford Bookworms Library: Red Dog: Level 2 Level 2: 700-Word Vocabulary

Louis de Bernieres

Red Dog was a Red Cloud kelpie, an Australian sheepdog. His life was full of excitement and adventure. He traveled all over Western Australia, and never really had an owner. But he had many, many friends, and he always knew where to go for a good meal. Louis de Bernières collected these stories about the life of a real dog in Western Australia. They are all true stories - some are funny, some are sad, but all are unforgettable. Everybody should have a friend like Red Dog.
