A stray dog, named Boji, has quickly become the star of social media in Turkey. He has been walking around every day, for several weeks, taking public transport in Istanbul. According to the authorities, who implanted a tracking chip, the animal would travel nearly 30 km per day reports HuffPost.
Boji is said to be a fan and used to metro stations to the point of crossing 29 a day. “When the door is open, you have to let people out first, he knows this rule very well,” the head of customer relations at Metro Istanbul told our colleagues. And to add: “He waits outside the lines like the other passengers and after everyone has left, he gets on the train and he has a special seat. “
