Turkish Airlines has promoted return flight tickets for rescue dogs that made rescue efforts in the aftermath of Turkey’s 7.8-magnitude earthquake on February 6 that killed more than 50,000 people.

A Turkish Airlines spokesperson said the dogs’ heroic deed means they deserve better than traveling in the cargo hold, adding that: "Rescue teams with their dogs were allowed to sit in the first class cabin (and in business class too)".

He described this human glimpse, saying it "It was the least that could be done to show appreciation for the loyal and heroic efforts of these brave dogs"according to a newspaper "Mirror"British.
