A very short history of Asker Garip: His mother was a collie, and he was given to me as a puppy in 2012 by my friend Heather. His name is from a Turkish folk character and was suggested by my Panoramio friend Suzen Ivanova. Here is a photo of Asker Garip with his mother and Heather. www.ipernity.com/doc/1050739/50753624
