“I believe he’s a stray.”

Josef explained that he discovered this “attraction” online.

“It’s now one of those funny travel memories that I’ll never forget.

“As soon as we found The Boulder, other passersby and tourists started gathering around, curious about what had everyone so excited!”

In his video, Josef captures the sleepy dog from various angles.

He captioned the post: “Would you go see The Boulder?

“Located near Taksim Square on the northern side of Istanbul, this majestic creature awaits.

“Some experiences are beyond words, and this is definitely one of them.

“You have to see it to believe it, and you’ll be amazed by the grace, beauty, and tranquility of this magical being.

“If you’re in Istanbul, Turkey, Europe, or anywhere on this planet – this is a must-see attraction.

“Open 24/7 with no admission fee (yet), you’d be crazy not to visit The Boulder while you’re in town.

“11/10 would recommend.”

The travel influencer’s video has also attracted 245,000 likes and received 500 comments from fans.

Amy commented: “He needs a statue after The Boulder passes.”
