I got some money
in my pocket
I got the car keys in my hand
I got myself a couple
of tickets...
Hey.
Come on, babe,
you know there ain't no time
To mess around, round, round
Evie, Evie
Evie, let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie
Evie, let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie
Evie, let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie
Let your hair hang...
Hello!
Bring him in.
Bring him in.
Through here. Just get him in.
Alright, uh...
- OK, sit down.
- OK, OK.
Hold his head! You have
to keep his bloody head still!
Hey, hey! Hey, hey, you!
We've gotta get a clean...
Uh, no... Yeah, no worries.
What is his beef, huh?
It doesn't matter.
I can't do it anyway.
I can't shoot a mate.
What can I get you, mate?
Uh, just a beer, thanks.
So, what's wrong with the dog?
Oh, baited strychnine.
Why would anyone
want to poison a dog?
Maybe someone set it out
for the roos or the dingoes
or someone just doesn't
like dogs, you know?
There are people, sick people.
Sorry.
Are you his master?
No, no. He has no master.
Well, not now.
That's not just any dog
in there, you know?
- No?
- Oh, no, no.
No, no, he's a famous dog.
He's probably the most
famous dog in all Australia.
Red Dog.
Yeah, the one that warned
No, no, no.
The one that saved that child...
No, no, not him. Wrong dog.
- Didn't he...
- No, no, no, no.
Look, mate, you're looking
at it all the wrong way.
It's, uh...
it's not what he did.
It's who he was.
'Is', I mean.
Red Dog?
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Vet's coming.
- Yeah? When?
- Soon.
How's the poor thing doing?
Oh, I'm sorry, mate.
Jack Collins, publican.
Thomas Baker, trucker.
Yeah, yeah.
It was me that brought Red Dog
to Dampier, me and Maureen...
near on 10 years ago now,
back in the mean old days
when men were men
and dogs were... dogs,
rougher, hotter,
brighter, redder...
Why would anybody
build a town out here?
in a town built out here?
Iron ore. Money.
Yeah, I know that.
- What's that?
- What's what?
On the road.
It's a dog.
I can see that.
What's it doing out here?
Hello, boy!
Hey? Hello.
Hello. Aren't you
a pretty boy, hey?
Hello.
Are you lost?
Do you need water?
Cheeky bastard.
Struth!
Is that the dog?
Well, it's certainly
not me! Eugh!
Ohh! Oh, Lord,
what did that thing eat?
Stop the car!
I can't breathe! Ohh!
Eugh!
Oh...
Oh, this is like... Wow.
Ohh!
WESTERN AUSTRALIA 1971
Ohh!
Hey, Maureen, Maureen.
Come and have a look at this.
Oh, that poor little bugger.
Oh!
Oh, g'day, Rick.
He's out the back, mate.
- Righto. Thanks.
- Hey, Rick.
That's the vet.
Here you go, Vanno.
- Hey.
- Vanno, this is Tommy boy.
I've just been telling him
about Red Dog.
Vanno here's one of his first
mates from back in the days.
Yes, 'the days'.
Wild days?
Very wild, very lonely.
A dog of a certain type
can do well in a lonely town.
I know.
I come from a small little
village in Italy, Abruzzi.
Here we go.
Ohh!
Yes, yes, you all bloat,
but my little village
was beautiful.
In spring, flowers
are like Turkish carpet
and the wine would
make you see the Virgin.
Why did you leave?
Same as all these
fools, money!
We all follow the money.
They come from everywhere.
From all the countries,
they come
for the money,
for the work.
From Poland, New Zealand,
Ireland, Greece,
Latvia, America.
Even Melbourne.
Living together,
eating together
and crapping together.
Money crackpot
They may look normal,
but not normal.
Sun has burned out
their brains.
See, I know sun
in Italy, in Abruzzi,
