Vending machine give food to stray dogs

In Turkey’s capital Istanbul, there’s an estimated 150,000 stray dogs roaming the streets. The dogs have wandered the streets for so long that they are considered a part of the city landscape. Some strays are so popular with locals that they’re treated like royalty, constantly fed and pampered. But what about the rest of the stray dogs?

That’s where an ingenious idea by company Pugedo comes in. They recently installed “Smart Recycling Boxes” around the city where dog food is dispense in exchange for water bottles, thereby encouraging recycling as well as feeding the population of stray dogs.
