    Made possible by a nationwide ‘no kill, no capture’ law protecting stray animals, Turkey’s stray dogs live in a sort of semi-harmony with people, their parallel societies often peaceably overlapping and intertwining. This is most pronounced in Istanbul, where government and community organisations have developed a sophisticated infrastructure for humane treatment of the city’s hundreds of thousands of street dogs. Their freewheeling lives were the subject of Stray (2020), a critically acclaimed feature-length documentary by Elizabeth Lo, a Hong Kong-born filmmaker based in Los Angeles. Shot in coordination with Stray, this short documentary takes viewers to the other side of the country, where strays in the ancient city of Kars roam, fight and and are occasionally interrupted by their human neighbours. Following a group of dogs as they wander in and out of Muslim rituals at a nearby mosque - and occasionally bark alongside its calls to prayer - Lo’s observational short provides a unique view of the human and canine worlds alike.

    Very few people will get the message the director is sending with this short film. Love to all dogs around the world. Love to all our brothers under Mother Nature.

    I love the part, where the younger shepherd is generous with her bone, to the big Anatolian shepherd.

      It's the social order with dogs.

    Animals are also in love that God made. Take care of and love the animals.

    Very beautifully filmed. Exceptional, really. The director should make a feature/documentary. I so hate to see these Kangals/shepherd's ears cut. It's a mindless/cruel tradition.

      Thank you! I was aware of this film. However, I thought it was entirely shot in Istanbul - so not by the same director. One of my next trips will be to Kars.
