Gabriola: dead thing on Whalebone beachUh-oh! What’s that, there on the beach, Gabriola? It has several names, like if you mess with that I will give you a bath, dammit!, and putrid, vile, smelly thing. To be more precise, one might say stinky, dead animal or rotting carcass.

If you were planning to go to Whalebone with your dog anytime soon, you might want to consider another beach instead. No words can describe how horrible this thing smells to humans, nor how irresistible it is to dogs.
