Local scuttlebutt is also heavily weighted towards his being holed up somewhere closer to home here on the Olympic Peninsula. Rumors fly, of course, and they now include speculation that Markwell has friends on one of the local reservations, where the dogs would be out of anyone's reach. But I'm havin' a hard time believing that the Tribe would want to get involved in such a mess...
Eh? Do you actually know anyone in Forks? Do you actually know anyone that knows him?
Somehow I think not.
Word I had from friends there was that what he said he was doing, he was doing, and since the dogs have arrived where he said he was taking them.....
Why, yes, I spend a lot of time on that side of the Peninsula and do know people in Forks. And frankly, I think you're blowin' smoke about what you say you heard from "friends there"....
But no matter...looks like the Perp has achieved his objective, that being:
To dispose of the dogs in as public a way as possible, while still retaining his right to restart in what has proven to be a very lucrative business. Why else would he have rejected the offer from a more-local group that contained a proviso that he refrain from opening another "shelter" like this one?
So much more dramatic/publicity/donations-getting than just turning them over to respectable folks prepared to care for them
properly...
