brinda Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Last fall while hiking at a local nature area (Old Man's Cave) with my dog, Zeppy, we ran across a fan who mentioned that (I think it was Page) had a golden retriever and at the end of one of their songs he calls out the dog's name. Anyone have any information on this? Which band member? What type of dog and the dog's name? Which song? Thanks, Brinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsclaw009 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hi brinda, I believe you are talking about Plant's dog Strider. It was called out after they did Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp. I'm certain this dog was a Blue Eyed Merle, not sure of the definitions of this breed but a type of Herding dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverVishnu Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Stryder* named after Aragorn in Tolkien's LOTR series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacewoman Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Stryder* named after Aragorn in Tolkien's LOTR series. I have seen once a pic of Robert with the dog, I think it was a Border collie, a shepherd dog from Wales- this could be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brinda Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thanks everyone! Spacewoman, I'd love to see that picture. Do you remember where you viewed it? Wikipedia noted two shepherds known for a merle coat, Austrian and Pyrenean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacewoman Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I have found one pic more! And I think that it isn´t a Border collie, but a collie (Shepherd) from Scottland. I will rather ask my daughter, she is a dog-specialist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Weird co-incidence don't you think? A black dog inspired the song of that name during recordings at Headley Grange. When Page and Halfin went back there - that was what they found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally got to see one of those dogs about 7 years ago...... beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1ZeppelinFan Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 What about Plant in the "Little by Litte" Video with the Greyhound, That's he's surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
