Does Ned Kelly have any pets?

Answer 1

Ned Kelly's family certainly had pet dogs.

From "The Complete Inner History of the Kelly Gang and their Pursuers" 1929:

Superintendent Hare, continuing his evidence on oath, said.—I may say that sympathisers’ dogs and dogs of relations were a great nuisance to us. . . . The next time I went to the spot I appointed a man with a few baits in a bag, and told him to drop a bait here and there and let any animal that liked pick it up. (RC1369)

Question.—Baits to destroy dogs?—Yes.

Question.—Strychnine on a bit of meat?—Yes, but after that many of the dogs about the place you could not poison if you tried. They always had muzzles on day and night, and used to come into Benalla with the muzzles on. I have seen Mrs Skillion and Kate Kelly come into Benalla with their dogs muzzled.

Question.—What you want to convey to the Commission is this: That the Kellys were so supported by the sympathisers and actually the dogs were so trained that if strange horses came the dogs would look out for the trackers and boys follow them up?—Yes, that is it.
