Seb Chua with the sponsorship of PAWS, The Philippine Animal Welfare Society, has created several other similar memorials. The Guardian at the Mall of Asia is a good example
It is true that these dogs can often be seen on the street, often in very sad, neglected state. So, this is a fitting tribute and reminder of the joys of companionship found with these wonderful native dogs.
Silent Companion
By Seb Chua
In honor of the “Aspin”, the Filipino dog . . .
Companion, playmate, protector, friend
Without words, Beyond words . . .
Living in his own 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.
