Cemal Senturk was taken by ambulance to Medical Park Hospital in Trabzon, and his dog, Boncuk, escaped and followed him from their apartment to the facility, waiting there every day without fail.

The hospital informed the family of the dog’s whereabouts, and they took her home. But she managed to escape again and returned to the hospital each day, said Murat Ercan, the hospital’s international patient center director.

“His dog ‘Boncuk’ has followed him to the hospital gate and refused to leave for six days until her owner was discharged,” Ercan said in a statement. “Even though the family (took) Boncuk back home she managed to escape every day to wait at the hospital gate.”

Senturk reached out to his dog and comforted her through the hospital window during his stay, but Boncuk would not leave until he did. She quickly won the affection of the hospital staff, who fed her and took care of her.

Ercan said, “Cemal Senturk has been with Boncuk for nine years and he also stated that he missed her a lot during his stay at the hospital,” he said.

“After he was cleared to go out he met his dog at the hospital gate. Boncuk has behaved really sweet during the six days and has managed to capture the love and affection of the whole staff.”
