Şenol Özbakan, a former deck-man who adopts abandoned golden retriever dogs in the western province of Muğla’s Bodrum district, has thousands of followers on his social media accounts thanks to his “Golden Gang.” 

The 56-year-old Özbakan, who lives with his 13 dogs in his old minibus parked in Bodrum’s industrial site, draws attention for his life. 

Özbakan, who has been living with dogs for a long time because of his love for animals and adopts animals abandoned on the streets, takes care of his dogs by himself. 

While strolling the streets with his 13 dogs attached to each other with leashes and swimming with them at Bodrum Beach, Özbakan draws great interest from local and foreign tourists, who want to take photograph with his dogs.
