Maybe it’s just her jet-black dye job, ghostly pale complexion, and blood-red sateen dress throwing me off, but I swear I saw her queued for the midnight screening of “Rocky Horror Picture Show” last Friday.

During the day the lean, aloof animals, most of them the pale sand color of the desert dingo, lie in the sun in their high-fenced enclosure, snuffling and backing away when a stranger arrives. Having bred them for 20 years, Watson's home is full of photos and paintings of dingoes, but her argument for their protection is based less on sentiment than...
