Dogs are famed for their kindness and empathy. However, at one recent open-air street performance, one homeless canine showed just how truly caring dogs can be.
During a street performance in Turkey, actor Numan ErtuÄŸrul Uzunsoy played a character who was to fall of his horse and pretend to be injured.
While the rest of the street watched on enjoying the show, a homeless dog emerged from the crowd and made its way towards the actor. Amazingly, it walked up to him, appearing to show concern, began licking his face and trying to cuddle him. It was as if the dog had serious worries about the man and wanted to make him feel better.
Uzunsoy told The Dodo:
"The character I played was injured and in great pain. He'd fallen off a horse, and was breathing hard. I felt warmth on my face. First, I thought my co-star was approaching me."
"I was very happy when I felt the dog's kisses. I was very touched. He was like an angel who wanted to help me. It was a very emotional moment for me. I was not expecting it. My castmates loved the dog, and the audience was very happy. Everyone cheered."
The actor was so taken aback that he had to break character and was seen smiling and petting the dog despite the play being ongoing, much to the crowd's delight.
It is thought that the dog is homeless and that it currently does not have anyone taking care of it, therefore Uzunsoy is now trying to track them down and find them a home to stay in. At the time of the last interview, he was on his way to the local square where it is believed he hangs about. The actor said:
"People told me he usually hangs out there. I went again today. I'll look for him until I find him. I've always loved animals."
