A Dog Takes The Subway Every Day, And A Man Puts A Tracker On Him

An Unlikely Passenger on the Subway

Like every other day, the man was waiting on the subway when he noticed an unlikely passenger among other commuters. It was a dog.

At first, he thought it belonged to someone, but he was quite wrong. He had to find out where the dog had gone.

When he found out what it was doing and why it was there, he immediately called the authorities. Usually, Amir goes to work with his personal car, but since the day before he had been in the workshop, he decided to use public transport to go to work.

From the first day he took the subway, Amir did not expect to see such a thing. A dog waited patiently with the people at the station and jumped into the carriage as soon as it stopped.

No one paid much attention to the dog except Amir.

“What’s going on?”

Amir, watching the dog on the platform, tried to look for it in the subway. Before they could find him, the train arrived at Amir’s station.

Unfortunately, he had to get off and go to work. At first, he thought the dog was just an aimless wanderer inside the carriage looking for something to eat, so he tried to forget about it.

The Mystery of the Traveling Dog

But this would not be the end of his story. Amir returned home thinking he would never see the dog again, but the next day he got the surprise of his life.

The dog was waiting for him again at the subway station, and that’s not all. Over the next few days, Amir continued to watch the dog take his own subway.

He began to wonder what was going on. Was the dog astray and some commuter had fed it, or was it something much more serious?

Not every day was the same. On one occasion, Amir had seen some people push the dog away and pull it out of the carriage with a bit of disgust.

He had tried to stop them, but it was too late. The train had already left the station, and the poor dog had remained on the cold concrete running in circles.

People walked past him, and no one paid any attention to the dog except Amir. Amir saw through the window that the dog was behaving strangely as if it had lost its way.

The dog was disoriented and was moving chaotically among the people waiting for the next train. Before Amir could do anything, the train left the station.

The man kept thinking of a way to help the dog, but first he had to find him again. He was determined to uncover the mystery of the traveling dog.

A Tracker for Boji

The next day, Amir brought some delicious dog kibble with him when he left for work. He waited at the same subway station, and it wasn’t long before the dog appeared.

He was a little dirtier than usual, but his brown coat was unmistakable. The dog accepted the treats by wagging his tail.

Seeing it so happy, Amir was happy to be able to help the little dog. But the young man had no intention of stopping there.

Amir received a phone call informing him that his car had been repaired and was ready to be picked up from the garage. At that point, he decided to keep taking the subway to work until he had a chance to help the dog.

The car could wait, but who knows what trouble that dog got into. Every morning, Amir had to act as quickly as possible to get to the bottom of this whole story.

He decided to call the authorities, who directed him to a local animal shelter. The shelter staff was as baffled as Amir when they heard the story.

At first, the team simply wanted to catch the dog and try to find an adoptive family for him. But the mystery of where he went every day and why would not be solved this way.

This meant that someone might be waiting for the dog at home, or maybe he was watching a puppy. They couldn’t know for sure, so the staff moved in another direction.

The animal shelter staff decided to put a tracker on the dog to see exactly where he was going. It wasn’t easy to gain the dog’s trust, but with Amir’s help, they succeeded.

Now all that was left was to wait. The tracker was finally active and on the dog.

When the staff saw where the dog was going, they didn’t know how to react. They had never seen anything like it.

When the staff checked the locator after a day, they couldn’t believe it. The dog had taken a very long walk around town, and no one knew why.

The Intelligent Commuter

In the following days, history repeated itself. The dog traveled for quite some time and then in the evening returned to the starting area.

Someone from the animal shelter staff decided to follow the dog on foot to find out where he went every day. It was something he couldn’t get out of his head, so he had to act.

The man immediately discovered valuable information. First of all, the dog’s name was Boji.

He was noticed by locals who began photographing him traveling by subway, train, and even ferry. It was clear that the dog was very smart.

He knew all the rules of public transport and made way for passengers to get off, wait for them, and enter the train after it had emptied completely.

When it came to subway and train stations, Boji would wait on the bench if the weather was nice while going inside if it was cold or rainy. The man had never seen a dog like him.

Checking the tracker in more detail, the animal shelter staff discovered that Boji made about 29 stops a day. He reached a distance of 27 to 30 kilometers every day.

Boji, despite being a stray dog, is a cross between a Sivas Kangal and sheepdog. He takes its name from a railway terminology belonging to the Turkish language.

The dog underwent a thorough check which showed that he had already undergone all health checks and had been sterilized. So the poor dog belonged to a family, but now lived as a stray.

He traveled a lot to reach people and establishments where he could get food. It was a daily adventure for the dog to be fed by the many people who loved and cherished him.

A Celebrity on Social Media

If it wasn’t enough, many social media accounts were open to track the last time Boji was seen. Passengers enjoyed his company during the trip.

The dog was a calming presence and brought joy to all the passengers he met. Everyone helped the dog find his way and gave him treats every time they saw him.

Since people started following Boji, he became an online phenomenon. Chris McGrath, a photographer for Getty Images, found out about Boji through Twitter.

Netizens have started posting selfies with the dog who now also has his own Instagram and Twitter accounts with thousands of followers. Chris decided to go to Istanbul to see the dog in person.

He followed Boji for a day to see where he was going and photograph his adventures. He couldn’t believe his eyes; it was something unique in the whole world.

“He knows where to go. He knows where to go,”

explained Alvan Errol, head of customer relations at Metro Istanbul.

It was truly amazing that the dog knew exactly where to go. It was a really interesting scheme.

It was like he knew where to go and had a purpose. For many, Boji has become a beloved member of the community.
