Re: Loyal dog in Turkey visits owner's grave daily
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “A man suffered from thirst while he was walking on a journey. When he found a well, he climbed down into it and drank from it. Then he came out and saw a dog lolling its tongue from thirst and licking the ground. The man said: This dog has suffered thirst just as I have suffered from it. He climbed down into the well, filled his shoe with water, and caught it in his mouth as he climbed up. Then he gave the dog a drink. Allah appreciated this deed, so he forgave him.”
It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, is there a reward for charity even for the animals?” The Prophet said, “In every living being there is a reward for charity.”

In Hebrew dog is translated as kelebh; (compare Arabic kelb, "dog"). Its meaning is best understood when one reads Bible:
It is used t
o compare a human to a dog or to call them a dog was to imply that they were of very low status (2 Kings 8:13; Exodus 22:31; Deuteronomy 23:18; 2 Samuel 3:8; Proverbs 26:11; Ecclesiastes 9:4; 2 Samuel 9:8; 1 Samuel 24:14).
In the New Testament, calling a human a dog meant that the person was considered evil (Philemon 3:2; Revelation 22:15).
So NO dog does not mean "loyal heart."
I am aware that now a days Jews use word "Kelev" for dog and they break it into two parts. Ke means like or as, Lev means heart. So they want to tell us the dog means like heart but this does not fit well when we read Bible. But of course, they want to promote how much love they have for dogs as its a modern trend to love dogs more than human beings.
By the way, I don't hate dogs, but keep them where they belong and that's in your backyard only if you need for security. Amount of money people spend on dogs is just insane. People living in West (mostly non-Muslims) could literally save so many children who are suffering in the world if they set their priorities right.
