In the midst of all the horrific riot photos emerging from Istanbul, there is one image that has brightened the horizon... the hipster dog.

His attire is simple - he wears white sunglasses with black lenses and a black collar. Hipster dog: The dog, which is now famous in Istanbul, relaxes as his owner does all the hard work . Hard work being cool: The pair chill out in the shades after a day of watching the riots . The identity of the dog and his owner is currently unknown, but the pair have caused a stir on social media. His photo has spread across Twitter and one user labelled him as 'The Riot Dog of Istanbul!' A protestor told BuzzFeed that the dog and his owner are park regulars and have been seen around Turkey's largest city a few times.
