But the faithful puppy realized that something was wrong with his favorite human, so she wanted to comfort him during these difficult times. The dog managed to escape from the family’s apartment and followed Senturk to the hospital.
The hospital staff noticed the small dog in front of the front doors, so they informed the Senturk family. As they live close to the facility, the puppy concerned was brought home, but only to return the next morning.
