Devil Dog Dawson is a 1921 American silent Western film directed by Karl R. Coolidge and starring Jack Hoxie, Helene Rosson and Evelyn Selbie. It was produced by Unity Photoplays and released on the states-rights market by Arrow Film Corp.

Many remaining scenes from this film were thought to have been cut at the time because they depicted alcohol consumption, which was illegal at the time.

A group of three settlers in Oregon have their horses stolen by outlaws. Their horses are returned by three cowboys. The cowboys later save the settlers again when they are threatened by farmworkers.^[1]

The film was considered lost. Previously, the only surviving footage from this film—38 seconds' worth—was found in a mislabeled tin by a collector in Ohio. The title marked on the tin was Dangerous Hour – Eddie Polo. The canister and its contents were the subject of an investigation in a 2006 episode of the PBS series History Detectives. The film segment was preserved and restored by the Library of Congress. Another copy has been since located in the French archive Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée in Fort de Bois-d'Arcy.^[2]
