The elderly and now worn-out herding dog had been disposed of, his strength had faded and he could no longer serve his master. Tragically, he had been placed in the territory of a group of street dogs, which of course were not well-disposed towards him, circled him and he was in danger of being severely attacked. Passers-by had noticed the scenario and called Nilgün for help. Aslan is a battered yet imposing old Kangal with a very gentle disposition who just wants to rest and sleep from his years of hard service at our clinic.
