It is part of `dired-x', maybe you could try loading that: 

 M-x load-library RET dired-x RET

Not sure in which version of Emacs that was included though.

If it works, you might want to put this in your .emacs:

(defun my-dired-init ()
  (require 'dired-x))

(add-hook 'dired-load-hook 'my-dired-init))

It will make sure `dired-x' is loaded when Dired starts.
