The Title Character's best friend, who is also the cache CO, will point you to the correct answers. The best friend is not listed in any of the answers above. You may argue that one of the furry companions above is a best friend. I contend that no one would treat their best friend that way! (Besides, the hint doesn't say that the CO's favorite color will point you to the correct answers.)


You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.
