A THY Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration TC-JHL performing flight TK-1450 from Porto (Portugal) to Istanbul (Turkey) with 68 passengers, landed on Istanbul Ataturk Airport's runway 05 when a dog crossed the runway and was hit by the aircraft. The aircraft rolled out without further incident and taxied to the apron. The aircraft did not sustain damage but needed a good wash.

The airport authority reported the dog had managed to get through the airport perimeter fence.
