A movie scene. A woman walks down the street and a bevy of various animals follows her. An almost magical picture. It is the story told by Dilara Ilter.
We are in Turkey. Here a woman is often spotted as she walks the streets of Istanbul. There are those who think that she has magical powers, but the secret is soon revealed: for some time the woman has been feeding all the animals that are in the presence of her. Like a mother, she takes care of dogs, cats, crows and numerous other creatures that repay her affection by accompanying her on her walks.
It may seem like the plot of a Disney movie but we know that the unknown woman has been feeding the stray animals of Istanbul for years. Numerous videos circulate on her social networks depicting her driving animals of all shapes and sizes, like a real Doctor Doolittle.
Her story was first told in 2017 by Dilara İlter, who posted a video of this animal rescuer on Twitter. Dilara was at her mother's house when she saw that extraordinary sight.

“This lady collects all the animals in the neighborhood every day and feeds them. The moment I saw her walk like that, I thought she was a sorceress or something. The scene was so poetic. I was amazed at how beautiful what she was doing for the animals was ”.
Then, a year later, Dilara saw the woman again, sharing another video on Twitter with the caption: “Are we meeting again? I couldn't not talk about it, but we will meet one day, super woman ".
Soon after, the mother approached the woman:
"My mother found her and talked to her, but she was too shy to tell anything."
Are you confused again? I couldn't go and talk but one day we will meet you super woman pic.twitter.com/9tPcvQhqOQ

According to Dilara, the selfless woman still takes to the streets of Istanbul to feed stray animals, rewarded only by the wagging tails and chirping of birds.
Scenes of extraordinary normality.
