Seattle DogSpot Readers Share Stories About Their Old Dogs
Readers' Stories About Old Dogs Soften Blow I've restarted my effort to repost blog entries that were lost during my last web redesign. Here's one I found a couple of days ago.

OLYMPIC ANIMAL SANCTUARY WAS A FRAUD December 24th marked the one year anniversary that the 124 dogs imprisoned in the Olympic Animal Sanctuary (OAS) in Forks, WA by Steve Markwell were turned over to the Guardians of Rescue in Kingston, AZ.
