i noticed in Redwall, there are some references that people are in it. such as the horse cart, with horses still hooked to it, Rats can't do that. And i forget were, but a description said, "he shook himself like a dog??" so are there dogs in Redwall?? also, i also forget the book, but there's that cat who doesn't eat meat, but eats salad, he lives in a human built barn!!
There's been a few topics regarding this. The first novel wasn't originally going to spawn even more books about Redwall, so he hadn't fully formed all the ideas about the world of Redwall in his mind at that point. The success of the first book inspired him to make a few changes such as removing any presence of human from the series. :) That explains some things. If dogs are mentioned in other books it's not so easy to explain, as you could say how do they know the word 'dog' when there hasn't been humans to breed wolves into dogs over years, etc.

that cat was in the original 'redwall' novel i think... i remember thinking while reading it; "but... that wouldn't work!"
there are, however, mice slaying snaked with swords and rabbits and hares serving badgers... so i'm willing to let it slide

As for that, it does actually say that a town
dog dropped news of Cluny The Scourge once...But again, this was the first book, and he hadn't planned on makeing a series.
Also, some things are references to animals that readers know about, and not necessarily to one's the creatures know about.
Like *Sighs* run like a hare and fight like a bear.
Ach...Ezpecially like zat.
