**Red River: The Dogs Project** is an early album written by Paul Shapera.

In the New Albion continuity this is the show mentioned as "The Dogs Project" in Lost Fables From New Albion, in the short story The Ballad of Lloyd Allen. This is the project Lloyd Allen, Raven, and Sarah McKiggan worked on after Caravan. The show involved a group being chased through a forest for several days.

Paul is not proud of the old album and shared it with the discord server NADS to show how he has grown over the years. However some, users genuinely enjoyed the album despite it's older style and near-incomprehensible lyrics. Paul was confused and supposedly annoyed that some people genuinely liked the album since he despised it. The fandom has since made it a goal to talk about and praise Red River multiple times, just for the fun of it.

The album can only be listened to on the NADS drive, but there is a blog post which has journal entries that provide a good sense of the plot.
