Dog Spends Days Outside Hospital Waiting for Owner
Read Time:1 Minute, 5 Second
A devoted dog has spent days waiting outside a hospital in northern Turkey where her sick owner was receiving treatment, per the AP.
The dog, Boncuk (Bon-DJUK), which means bead, followed the ambulance that transported her owner, Cemal Senturk, to hospital in the Black Sea city of Trabzon on Jan. 14. She then made daily visits to the facility, a private news agency DHA reported.
Senturk’s daughter, Aynur Egeli, said she would take Boncuk home but the dog would repeatedly run off and return to the hospital.
Hospital security guard Muhammet Akdeniz told DHA: “She comes every day around 9 am and waits until nightfall. She doesn’t go in. When the door opens she pokes her head inside.”
On Wednesday, Boncuk was finally reunited with Senturk when he was pushed outside in a wheelchair for a brief meeting with his dog. “She’s very used to me. And I miss her, too, constantly,” he told DHA. Senturk was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday and returned home with Boncuk.
