A street dog named Boji has become something of a celebrity in Istanbul, where he travels around the city on its ferries, trams and subway cars.
“Everybody knows him now and everybody’s seen him,” McGrath said.“He went into one restaurant and two men sort of shooed him away, yelled at him,” McGrath said. “And then you hear someone else, another restaurant owner, yelling at those guys going: ‘It’s Boji! It’s Boji! Don’t shoo him away!’ So he’s definitely got celebrity status now.”Municipal workers are also protective of Boji, and they have been looking after him.
Boji knows exactly where to go, photographer Chris McGrath said, and he wasn’t always easy to keep up with.Municipal workers keep tabs on Boji from afar, using a mobile app to track his movements. McGrath linked up with them last week for his day following Boji. “At the ferry, he’ll sit at the back where the engine is because the vibration, he likes it,” McGrath said. “And then when he’s on the Metro, on the subway train, he sits where the wheels are — like right underneath on top of the wheels. He always likes this feeling of sitting on those.”
“Istanbul is called Catstanbul because there’s so many cats here,” said McGrath, who’s been based in the city for six years now. “ sees a cat in the distance, and he just chases it up. I saw him do it three or four times, chase them up trees and stuff. He really dislikes cats. “He was on the way to the ferry, and there’s a taxi stand and there was a little house for a cat and some bowls and he stops there and drinks. And there’s a picture of him in the subway drinking, and that’s like a municipality’s food-and-drink area for animals. He knew exactly to go there.”
