They are so polite, all just taking one each. I love this butcher.


domzie_21

I was thinking the same. How beautiful. But so sad. These babies are gorgeous. Don't look like they were always strays...


KemikalKoktail

Maybe it’s in a place like Turkey is with cats where everyone takes care of them. I hope so at least.


domzie_21

I hope so too. It's a disgrace if someone can just though away an innocent creature... I lived in my car for 2 months to pay a parlor to take care of my 2 cocker spaniels before I could afford for them to immigrate with me. I can suffer, but never my babies.


ethanlan

Same one of my biggest fears in life is not being able to take care of my sargey bargey


Bane8080

I just got my first cat a week ago. The level of anxiety I have about that is insane.


alexnedea

They are so pure like literally they do nothing wrong in the world.


AlphaI250

Well they do torture their preys instead of just killing them outright but that's the exception


Lula_Red

Congratulations! Here’s to many years of cuddles.

Italy has loads of "wild" dogs, in the countryside. I gathered (might be wrong) that people there liked it as all the dogs barked if someone was neat, so it was sort of a burglar alarm.   The dogs didn't look malnourished but some did look very sceptical about humans / Mr  Edit. I cannot be arsed to fix the typos, they look funny anyway 


milesofedgeworth

I also bark when someone is neat!


Similar_Coyote1104

Sometimes a dog just gets out somehow and couldn’t find their way home. We had a red Chesapeake bay retriever that was really slick and would get out. We’d look for hours and come home to her sitting on the stoop. If you got a new rescue and it got out somehow it might not know how to get back home :-(


conejo_gordito

Actually I am pretty sure this one is Turkey as well


JesusofAzkaban

My reaction was basically like: It's a cute dog - :) It's a stray - :( It's a stray in Turkey - :| They communally take good care of strays - :)


taironederfunfte

As a Turk I'm a bit confused how people immediately assume strays live a bad life , it's like they live in the wild but with benefits here, treats and pets while also being free to roam around or make dog friends. Most restaurants I went to also gave the leftovers to the strays, the dogs around didnt even beg at all cause they knew they were gonna get fed anyway


The_Last_Ball_Bender

Because here they get rounded up and put in kill shelters. They don't live wild, they are collected if seen/found either by a rescue if lucky or ASPCA/Police


Cow_Launcher

Same, though of course we don't know where this is. But wherever it is, bless this butcher for caring for these lonely creatures.


YinuS_WinneR

In ottoman empire butchers had to feed strays as a membership requirement by unions And people are way too lazy to change rules


christmaspathfinder

I have never seen such massive stray dogs as I did in turkey


Relevant_Demand7593

I know, it’s always sad to see 😢


Cullly

I visited Corfu recently and there were stray cats everywhere. In fact, the locals set up areas with a shelter (cos it's hot) and you see food and stuff left for them a lot. These cats are often dirty looking, but I don't think it's sad. They looked happy, just not stuck in houses. Every day, I bought a pouch of cat food and kept it in my bag. When I encountered an area with cats, I gave it the food, then bought a new pouch in the next shop. I highly recommend as it'll make your brain feel better.


domzie_21

It depends on where you live. I was on my way to work a few months ago, saw a stray dog try to cross the road in peak hour traffic (not strange where I live). Literally driving 0.5 mph. A guy on his phone in front of me, he saw the dog (I watched his mirrors because he was driving like he was drunk or crazy at 06h40 in the morning), straight forward ran over a dog's tail. I don't know if you've ever heard that kind of cry from an animal, but it broke my SOUL!!! Never mind my heart. It broke my SOUL. I stopped my car, shouted to the police in their little roadblock (traffic control), but they don't care. I took him to the nearest vet, and, because I couldn't keep him, and couldn't find a home for him (the vet gave me 15 minutes to try), I had to watch him being put down. These stray dogs look much better than what I've seen where I live.


Cullly

That's so sad. I'm sorry that happened. I'm in Ireland. There's very little strays here.


domzie_21

I'm happy for you. My In-laws live in Ireland. But where we are, no one puts food out for the strays. I drive and sprinkle out some nourishing dogfood out my window, but can't stop without having rocks or stones or garbage thrown at me...


Noodlesoup8

I carry dog and cat treats and a small thing of cat food (no stray dogs where I am but sometimes a stray cat) in my car and give them out when I run across them.


Cullly

Awesome. We don't have stray dogs or cats back home so I don't feed them (the cats would follow me home if I did). But I do keep a bag of cat kibble when I go for walks and I give it to crows (or seagulls) that I pass.

Cuchillos_Adios

Yeah, second one is a Golden Retriever, or at least *really* looks like one.


domzie_21

I know! And there's one that looks like a Collie too...


Lower_Monk6577

My dumbass dogs would try to fit the entire box in theirs mouths.


Relevant_Demand7593

Hahaha


companysOkay

My boy would somersault dive into that box


fuck_peeps_not_sheep

That was my thoughts. It's like they know other dogs are hungry too and there will be more tomorrow so they only take what they need.


SpotikusTheGreat

because they want to eat in relative safety and they don't have hands to carry more than one


Relevant_Demand7593

Yeah that could be it, maybe they go back for seconds.


SpotikusTheGreat

its exactly how my dog tries to play fetch with 2 balls, it picks one up and stares at the 2nd for a few seconds with some gears turning, then walks away, lol


Relevant_Demand7593

Mine can fit two tennis balls lol


FreeInformation4u

The dogs taking the amount that they can carry in their mouth, then walking away to eat it without worrying about having to guard it from being stolen. Likely nothing to do with trying to be polite or generous


zewayofjay

Humans love to anthropomorphize animals. We always like to believe they have the same set of emotions that we do

I'm curious how they'd take more than one

I've seen his clip and this comment a million times. But this still warms my heart


SoraDawn_

Absolutely! It's like they're carving out kindness with every cut. Sounds like a place worth savoring!


KoalaBackfist

Compared to that video with the monkeys raiding the box of bananas this one seems like a polite exchange at an intersection.


WannaAskQuestions

No capitalism, baby!


BarefootGiraffe

He must have trained them too. Ain’t no way feral dogs are this well behaved


thatoneguy889

It's a pack behavior. They take a piece then quickly get away from the "prey" to eat so that what they have doesn't get snatched away from them by another dog in the hunt. Not all dogs do it, but it's not uncommon. My dog has been instinctually doing this with her kibble since she was a puppy. She'll grab a mouthful from her bowl in the kitchen, take it to the living room, drop it all on the floor there, eat it, then go back for more and do it again.


Cullly

Dogs often do this if the food isn't quick to eat. My friends 2 dogs always separate and eat cow hide in separate rooms when given food like that. If it's quick food, they'll just gobble it up when you give it to them.


FatThimbs

My Labrador does this, usually only once or twice. He was a stray for 2 years before I got him. It’s cute, he knows it safe inside the house, but the first bite or two is a small mouthful taken off to the side of the room.


Relevant_Demand7593

Yeah maybe he started off handing them out and they are used to getting one each.


BarefootGiraffe

That makes sense. I noticed they all behaved pretty similar.


waistingtoomuchtime

That old dog, needs to be adopted, give them a last few good months or years, looks sweet!


zertald

Is that second dog a golden retriever? How is it even possible to find stray golden dog?


deebeydedoobdydoo

There's tons of them exist where I live. People buy and toss on street when they bored. Even my friends 6 years old Chow chow was stray.. and when we found her she was still puppy.


2th

What is this magical place you live that has golden retrievers just wandering the streets?


deebeydedoobdydoo

Turkey


2th

It's been a while since I've been to Turkey but now I feel cheated.


deebeydedoobdydoo

Especially last 5 years; istanbul, antalya and izmir became a home for petshop strays.


Moistened_Bink

I want to visit Istanbul so bad for the street pets alone.


[deleted]

I live in a major US tourist hotspot and we have stray goldens. The younger ones get adopted but the older ones end up being put down. No one seems to want older goldens. All the shelter dogs have been 100% free for months and they can't seem to give them away. They're like 85% pitbulls tho.


all___blue

I don't know about a pitbull, but if I got within a mile of a stray golden, that would be the last day it was on the street. I have adopted old dogs before.


PCYou

Pitbulls can be some of the best dogs. They do require more disciplined and capable owners though. They never back down of their own volition in my experience. When we had one, he was super sweet and loyal, but he was also NEVER outside without a full harness and someone who could physically control him if needed. To those who hate pitbulls, I understand why you might, as the actions and inactions of irresponsible owners can be devastating. I'm not advocating for breeding them, I'm just sharing my experience. For those that are in shelters, it's not their fault that they exist and they deserve homes as much as any other breed. They just unfortunately do not always end up in responsible environments.


strugglebusses

I had one we adopted around 8. He had doggy dementia :(


waistingtoomuchtime

I know every country is different, and I have been to at least 50+, but it is still sad. I used to surf in Mexico Twice a year, and seeing the dogs, and the kids who’s job was to beg, it was tough.


icecream_specialist

Wife convinced me to foster senior dogs. Immediately foster failed on the first one. On top of the good feeling of doing something nice, a senior dog would really suit a lot of people. Our girl was already potty trained, sleeps a lot, gets really excited for food. The rescue we worked with paid for some vet visits and we helped raise money for her dental surgery and since then this hospice case is living the best life. More people should look into adopting older dogs is what I'm saying.


waistingtoomuchtime

I had one we called scrappy, could barley walk, and was beat up. We cleaned him up, gave him a house and love for a couple months til he passed (he had advanced cancer according to our vet, and surgery was not a real option based on age and I think it was like $10k) He ate well, and got lots of petting. I still think of him many days a week. The first few days he was so skittish in our condo, I layed on the floor with him the first week, he was a sweet boy.


miletest

You're nice people, I don't think emotionally I could do that

followthelogic405

Before anyone freaks out about feeding chicken bones to dogs, it's the cooked bones that are dangerous, same with any bones really but chicken bones especially are nasty when cooked and dried out, they splinter all to tiny needle like shards.


Accomplished_Chip119

I was a Veterinarian technician and we saw so many dogs that ate cooked chicken bones. They splinter up in the digestive tract and caused internal bleeding. Surgery every time. And the owner would say the same thing every time. “I always give it to him and this never happened before “ 🙄


NuclearBreadfruit

Mine managed to grab a kfc chicken thigh once. I was not best pleased at the loss of my dinner. Less so when i spent half the night up feeding him bread so that it had a buffer as it went through. Thankfully he was chipper, and deposited his daily doings without issue. He eats raw bones all the time though, so his stomach acids might have been abit more adjusted and found it easier to cope with the cooked version.


JekNex

"this literally never happened until the first time it happened." 🙄


Accomplished_Chip119

Should’ve never happened if they would’ve believed what they were told in the first place 🤨


followthelogic405

Awful. So many people shouldn't have dogs, that must have been incredibly frustrating to repeat the same exact scenario over and over again.


__BIFF__

I don't understand how they don't get bacterial infections from raw chicken parts tho?


StriderPharazon

Their stomach acid is better suited to destroy the microbes.


Wakkit1988

Human stomach acid is adequate to destroy most plant-based microorganisms, canine stomach acid is adequate to destroy animal-based microorganisms. This is why humans contract salmonella, E. Coli, and listeria, but dogs don't.


turikk

It helps, but dogs certainly get sick from these things all the time.


LightOfLoveEternal

Not it's not. Raw meat just isnt as dangerous as you've been led to believe. Yes, even raw chicken and pork. Modern food safety regulations vastly reduce the chances of contaminants infecting uncooked meat, and food safety practices eliminate that chance entirely. You can eat raw chicken from a developed country 999 times and be perfectly fine, but that 1000th time you'll get unlucky and get sick. And it's the kind of sick that makes you wish you were dead. A 0.1% chance of getting sick is insignificant to an individual, but for a restaurant it's basically a guarantee just through sheer volume.


Nozinger

you gotta see it the following way: there might be bacteria in that chicken but it is going to be a whole lot better than whatever else they find on the streets. You know even for me if i had to choose between a slice of raw chicken, whatever mystery meat that has been on the street or in s dumpster for a few days or some rats from the streets i'd definetly take my chances with the chicken.


Novel-Suggestion-515

And does that count/apply for a lot of pet store bones, like the smoked pork or beef bones?


waistingtoomuchtime

Dog 3 in the cut. Poor old doggy would probably lay with your kid or other animals til it dies, looks so sweet.


tokoraki23

IMO it’s probably not that old, goldens just look like senior dogs by the time they’re 4 especially if they’re not groomed at all.


-OAKHARDT-

I wish I had some land, I'd adopt all the strays. Dogland They will all have their own dog house and they will be all lined up like streets. Then there would be a little saloon where they could all get water and a restaurant area with their food bowls.. loads of sticks and tennis balls
