Aspen is a Chinese shar-pei who lives with Lynda Corkum, administrative secretary at the Schulich School of Law.

Name: Aspen

Nickname: Azzie

Species/breed: Chinese shar-pei

Age: 12.5 years.

Fave food: Sardines

Special tricks: His sense of smell is amazing! We had rats living in and around our green bin a few winters ago. Aspen was the one who alerted me to this. Now, all I have to say is 鈥淲here are the dirty rats?鈥� and he goes right to the green bin. He is an excellent guard dog. Nothing happens outside of the house without Aspen alerting me to it. He is also a cuddler extraordinaire.

Best quality: Everything about him. He is loyal, gentle, affectionate. And cute as a button!
