Like most great heros, Aslan's precise origins are not well known. Although some historians maintain that Aslan herded sheep in the Pyrenees mountains, the majority view is that he was placed in a shelter when his Puget Sound owners were not responsible.
In September 2004, we discovered Aslan through the Puget Sound Great Pyrenees Rescue Association, that finds homes for dogs who have had unlucky pasts. (In fact, Aslan is our own name for him, for we don't know what he was called in the past.)
