In an interview with AP, Baturalp Dogan, a vet at Beylikduzu Alfa Veterinary Clinic, said his colleague Emir saw the dog hovering in front of the door.
While he was initially confused by its appearance, Emir soon saw the puppy on the ground and brought the animals into the clinic.

Emir noted that he could not tell whether the puppy was alive and believed it was suffering from hypothermia.
“The animal was already as cold as ice,” said Dr Dogan.

When Dr Dogan arrived, Emir told him that the puppy could be dead. However, the two checked again and managed to detect a faint heartbeat.
They then worked to revive the puppy, giving it an injection and warming it up using a hair dryer.
