"He was brought into an Istanbul rescue home."

That explains this poor baby plight and horrible mistreatment a bit. Dogs in middle-eastern cultures are looked upon as dirty, unworthy, something to be scorned, according to my old Turkish friend, Hakki. 😡

Remember the trained U.S. military dogs sent to Iran, Jordan, Egypt who were mistreated and starved to death?
