🐕 ASPIN - From my book, DOGS OF THE WORLD. Filipino free-ranging dogs used to be called Askal ("street dog") Their name was changed to Aspin ("native dog") to increase people's empathy for them in relation to more coveted pedigree dogs.

Illustration of ASPIN (Asong Pinoy) Filipino Street Dog from the book: Dogs of the World. Note that Aspin are a wide range of sizes and colors!

*there is an error in the book - it says THAILAND when it should be PHILIPPINES!

Watched Killers of the Flower Moon last night (with @nathanrlong.bsky.social ) after I had just finished reading the book. So much evil. I recommend the book which revealed so much more and at least didn't try to elicit sympathies for Ernest Burkhardt.
