‘Horror movie’: officials investigate after 21 dead dogs wash up on Washington state shore

Carasses wash ashore Guemes Island in ‘creepy mystery’, with authorities saying canines appear to be the same size

Officials are investigating after nearly two dozen dead canines washed ashore on a Washington state island, in what one local has compared to “the start of a horror movie”.

The Skagit county sheriff’s office said 21 canines had been found on the shoreline of Guemes Island, about 80 miles north of Seattle, between 26 March and Friday.
