Ecehan, responding to the invitation of a playful stray dog as we went to feed them on a mountain road near Antalya on a weekend. It seems that it was a cared dog sometime and was then abondoned. As the new year approaches and some people think of giving pets to their beloved as gifts, let us help raise more awareness of preventing animals from being left behind when things go wrong. Animals are ours to care for and only we can be responsible for their lives.
