One of my favorite #PokemonGo #pokestops, the #SilentCompanion celebrates the #Aspin - our native Filipino dog. I've embedded the plaque's full verse ( by Seb Chua) in the image's AltText.

Was hoping to see someone yesterday with an #Askal ("asong kalye" or street dog) but it was all foreign pedigree dogs alas. #Philippines #Eastwood #DogsOfMastodon

A statue of a man tenderly holding an aspin in his arms. The plaque reads:

Silent Companion
by Seb Chua

In honor of the Aspin, the Filipino dog…
Companion, playmate, protector, friend
Without words, beyond words…

Living in his homeland, yet often homeless.
Seen everywhere, yet overlooked,
Voiceless and invisible.

The Aspin dreams of the day he will find a safe, loving home.
He looks up to a human, and hopes for humanity.
Will they see him and speak for him?

To all who give voice to the Aspin,
Who have called his name and welcomed him into their family,
Share in this quiet tribute.

I keep submitting in , and they end up being approved as in other games that I don't play. sigh. It's too much wasted effort.
