How do the residents of Istanbul respond to Boji? Chris recounted that when Boji entered a restaurant, two men chased him away and yelled at him. However, another restaurant owner shouted at the men and identified Boji, telling them not to scare him away.
Boji has now gained celebrity status, and not only community members but also the Municipal workers who cherish their beloved mascot. After Boji became so well-known, the Municipal workers began taking him for regular checkups at the vet and even conducted a behavioral study to ensure that his interactions with humans would not be a problem for him or the people he meets every day.
