There are many cultural and historical differences between the Turkish people and the Arab peoples.
Although the Turks are Muslims, unlike most Arab countries - the love for animals in general and domestic animals in particular - is deeply rooted in them.
Many homes across the country raise animals, dogs, cats and more, and the attitude of the Turks towards the animals found on the streets is wonderful.

An expression of the deep connection between the Turkish people and the animals was received in the earthquake in Izmir on Friday, which due to its many damages - rescue teams not only fought for human life under the rubble, but also for the lives of dogs, cats, rabbits and even parrots.
The media in Turkey documented the same rescues with great pride, as they presented the rescue of the life of three-year-old Alif Frinjak - who survived 65 hours under the rubble.
One of those special stories of animal rescue took place today (Monday).
Ilri exaggerated a shirt from the rubble after seven hours, but her dog, the venom, was left behind.
And yesterday, 65 hours after rescuing a gimmick - the venom was rescued from the rubble in peace.
Another special story was on Saturday.
A rescue dog named "Bob" located a living cat under the rubble and pulled it out.
Rescue crews gave him the name Omut (Hope in Turkish).

In general, the Turks operate no less than 20 rescue dogs in Izmir.
At the same time, a rabbit and four cats were rescued in one building called "Rizabi", with one of those cats pregnant.
In another building, firefighters risked their lives climbing the seventh floor of a half-collapsed building to rescue a parrot alive.
