After waiting six days… "Let's Go Home"
Those who are lucky enough to have a dog know that our
canine companions are happiest by our sides. They say a dog
is "man's best friend," which is definitely the case for Cemal
Senturk and his pup Boncuk. When Senturk was transferred
by ambulance to Medical Park Hospital in Trabzon in Turkey,
Boncuk couldn't bear to be apart from him. She escaped from
their apartment and followed her owner to the hospital, where
she waited six days outside the entrance doors for him to be
released.
The first day Boncuk arrived at the hospital doors, staff
informed Senturk's family that she was there. She was brought
back home, but the loyal pup was determined to be close to her
owner, escaped from the apartment and went back the following
day. She continued to return every day, patiently waiting from
morning until the evening.
Senturk and Boncuk have been inseparable for nine years,
so it's understandable that Boncuk would worry when her
best friend isn't around. Luckily, Senturk was able to comfort
Boncuk through the window during his stay at the hospital.
And after six days, he was finally released and the pair were
reunited. A video capturing the heartwarming moment shows
Boncuk excitedly wagging her tail and jumping up to Senturk
for cuddles... and tugging on his foot as if to say "Let's go home!"
