The
headline says: One Elephant for Two Kangal Dogs! A cultural trade
with India, one National Treasure for another! Personally, I think the
Indians got the better deal! Sali, 22 Sept 1998.
BTW the article refers to the pups as Kangal kopegi and Sivas Kangal
yavrugu (Kangal dogs, Sivas Kangal pups). You will never see a spotted
or black or brindled or long-haired dog being called a Kangal Dog in the
Turkish media. That's because they're not. |
The
teeth of a renowned wolf-slayer! |
 A
proud Sivas villager with his favorite Kangal bitch. He clearly doted on
this dog, and the others were teasing him about it. Cute! |
