{"product_id":"red-dogbooks","title":"Red Dog","description":"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e“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 farther 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“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.” – Louis de Bernières\u003c\/i\u003e]]\u0026gt;","brand":"de Bernières, Louis","offers":[{"title":"Hardback (Adult Fiction)","offer_id":44933317230816,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_5d9fdcb9-4dcb-4813-9eb4-b9ebf8c6ca93.jpg?v=1710087159","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/red-dogbooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
