A faithful dog waited almost a week in front of a hospital in Turkey until its owner was released after being treated for a brain disease.
The devout puppy, named Boncuk, followed the ambulance that took 68-year-old Cemal Senturk to Trabzon City Hospital on the Black Sea on Jan. 14, DHA news agency reported. .
Bonuck, whose name means “pearls,” in reference to her brown eyes, returned every morning to the entrance to continue her solitary vigil, where sometimes hospital staff ate her.
“It simply came to our notice then. Everyone noticed the relationship between the dog and its owner. It makes everyone happy, “Fuat Ugur hospital spokesman told Reuters.
Security guard Muhammet Akdeniz told DHA: “He comes every day around nine in the morning and waits until nightfall. He does not enter. When the door opens, put your head inside.
Senturk’s daughter, Aynur Egeli, said she tried to take Boncuk home several times, but the dog would run back to the hospital.
When Senturk was finally released on Wednesday, a very happy Boncuk ran to the side of the wheelchair, jumping to stroke it and wagging its tail.
“It makes a person very happy. The dog is very close to us, like a human being, and it makes you happy, ”said Senturk.
“She is very used to me. And I also miss her, constantly, “he added.
