But on both sides of the pond it would be rare to see an 'owned' dog alone and not on a leash unless it's lost.
Also, in the blurb thread, there's now mention that Donovan is shipping the dogs abroad. This would be expensive (practicalities like rabies shots etc), and for what purpose? Few countries are short of dogs.
As to ARF, or whoever, where are they keeping the dogs? In what conditions? Are they humane? Won't the dogs be pining for their people?
I wonder if Gregg has really thought about this?

Do you remember that huge scandal, a few years back? All the Haute houses had found this "amazing" source, in China, for faux-fur? They used it in all their (Fall) shows that year...and it all turned out to be DOG. Man...that was bad on all fronts.
Perhaps Donovan is shipping the dogs to some secret location that's making faux-not-fur coats? Granted, it's absurdly expensive, and nobody would do it, but, this IS an over-the-top-black-comedy novel, right?
