Canine Concerns
Owning a dog may seem straightforward in many places, but it comes with its own challenges in Turkey. A significant portion of Turkish society harbors a fear of a man's best friend.
Many locals will go out of their way to avoid dogs, often crossing the street. Furthermore, if you don't have access to a car, taking your dog to the vet can be quite a task, as most buses and taxis do not accept canine passengers."
