Among the egregiously offensive animal-related smells we uncovered were: burnt human hair, rotting cadavers, bodily excretions, and even a Border Collie's stale breath. Sifting through the various food-related foul odors, we came across these repeat offenders: moldy cheese, boiled cabbage, bacon grease, and at the top of the heap, garbage piles.
