SKAGIT COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – A disturbing discovery in Skagit County has law enforcement asking the public for help.

The Sheriff’s Office says that the bodies of six canines were found on the shore of Guemes Island last Thursday.

Over the course of the past week, Animal Control found five more carcasses around the island’s shoreline.
