We present the results from an analysis of deep Herschel Space Observatoryobservations of six nearby dwarf galaxies known to host galactic-scale winds.The superior far-infrared sensitivity and angular resolution of Herschel haveallowed detection of cold circumgalactic dust features beyond the stellarcomponents of the host galaxies traced by Spitzer 4.5 $\mu$m images.Comparisons of these cold dust features with ancillary data reveal an imperfectspatial correlation with the ionized gas and warm dust wind components. We findthat typically $\sim$10-20\% of the total dust mass in these galaxies residesoutside of their stellar disks, but this fraction reaches $\sim$60\% in thecase of NGC 1569. This galaxy also has the largest metallicity (O/H) deficit inour sample for its stellar mass. Overall, the small number of objects in oursample precludes drawing strong conclusions on the origin of the circumgalacticdust. We detect no statistically significant trends with star formationproperties of the host galaxies, as might be expected if the dust were liftedabove the disk by energy inputs from on-going star formation activity. Althougha case for dust entrained in a galactic wind is seen in NGC 1569, in all cases,we cannot rule out the possibility that some of the circumgalactic dust mightbe associated instead with gas accreted or removed from the disk by recentgalaxy interaction events, or that it is part of the outer gas-rich portion ofthe disk that lies below the sensitivity limit of the Spitzer 4.5 $\mu$m data.
