Leather dog shoe

A handmade leather dog shoe worn on long bush walking trips in the Blue Mountains by Myles and Margaret Dunphy’s fox terrier named Dextre.

Pioneering Australian architect, bushwalker and conservationist, Myles Dunphy OBE (1891-1985), was a passionate advocate and campaigner for the establishment of national parks. The Mountain Trails Club, which Myles Dunphy helped to establish, led to the development of a bushwalking movement from which a voluntary conservation movement emerged.
