 when i was making the film i was amazed because the dogs that i filmed with i would try to bribe them with food you know to go different places with kibble but they were so well fed in finding their own food and being fed by restaurant owners around them the butchers around them that they never wanted for food at least in istanbul they made a living in the city on their own and supported by the people who every morning i noticed people would come out with buckets of meat
