A pote-itively dedicated dog waited for days outside a hospital in northern Turkey, where her sick owner received treatment.
The pet, Boncuk (Bon-DJUK), meaning kraal, followed the ambulance transporting her owner, Cemal Senturk, to the hospital in the Black Sea city of Trabzon on 14 January. She then visited the facility daily, private news reported the agency DHA on Wednesday.
Senturk’s daughter, Aynur Egeli, said she would take Boncuk home, but the dog would repeatedly run away and return to the hospital.
The hospital’s security guard, Muhammet Akdeniz, told DHA: ‘She comes every day around 09:00 and waits until it becomes evening. She does not go in. ‘
“When the door opens, she sticks her head inside,” he said.
