A devoted dog waited for days outside a hospital in Turkey where her sick owner was being treated.
The pet, Boncuk, meaning kraal, followed the ambulance transporting her owner, Cemal Senturk, to the hospital in the Black Sea city of Trabzon on January 14. She then visited the facility daily, reports the private news agency DHA.
Senturk’s daughter, Aynur Egeli, said she would take Boncuk home but the dog would run back to the hospital.
A hospital security guard, Muhammet Akdeniz, told DHA: ‘She comes every day around 9am and waits until it’s evening. She does not go in.
“When the door opens, she sticks her head inside.”
On Wednesday, Boncuk was finally reunited with Senturk when he was pushed outside in a wheelchair. “She is very used to me. And I also miss her constantly, “he told DHA.
Senturk was discharged from hospital on Wednesday and returned home with Boncuk.
