An adventurous street dog has taken Istanbul - and the internet - by storm.

Meet Boji: a beautiful boy who has learned how to navigate Istanbul's vast public transportation network, sometimes traveling up to 30 kilometers a day using the city's subway, ferries, trains, and trams.

Boji first started getting attention about two months ago, according to Reuters.

"We noticed a dog using our metros and trains and he knows where to go. He knows where to get out," Aylin Erol, of Metro Istanbul, told the outlet. "It's like he has a purpose."

The dog prefers to travel in the middle part of the subway car, which is called "boji" in Turkish, which inspired transit officials to give the street pup his name.

Erol told Reuters that passengers frequently pose for photos with Boji, posting him across all social media platforms. Instagram and Twitter accounts bearing his name and photos have acquired more than 70,000 followers each.

Photographer Chris McGrath captured a series of Boji's adventures earlier this month.
