In Turkey, having free roaming cats and dogs is still very much part of the culture, and I hope it never goes away.
People take care of them, and the government too, so you will almost never see a cat/dog aggressive towards human or very sick.

I'm hardly ever reassured by the owner, if there is one in sight, saying that he/she doesn't bite.
I used to have one of those ultrasound gadgets but the first one I tried left the poor dog whimpering, which made me feel like crap and the second one seemed to be ignored by most dogs. To be fair this was over 10 years ago, so the devices might actually work better these days.
Not from Turkey but we do have roaming cats and dogs in the countryside back home.
My wife use to bicycle a lot in Turkey and she never had a problem with dogs and cats, but you don't see them that much in the countryside also.
