Have you seen this dog?

This is our friend Simit. He lives at ANZAC Cove on the Gallipoli Peninsula (Gelibolu) in Türkiye. As part of a larger bikepacking / touring trip we spent a day in September cycling around the Anzac Cove area.

Simit joined us early on and accompanied us as we visited the commemorative sites and paid our respects. Simit would have covered about 10km with us, just trotting along and asking very little other than pats and some water (it was a very hot day on the pavement!). As Kiwis visiting Gelibolu was always going to be a humbling and moving experience, but we came away having also formed a special bond with our guide dog Simit.

We would love to know if anyone who has visited Anzac Cove recently has also met Simit and can let us know how he's doing.

Also keen to hear about any other enriching trail dog experiences people have had out there on their adventures.
