Faithful Dog Journeys To Hospital To Find Her Mom

It's hard not to get teary-eyed when you see what Sissy the miniature Schnauzer did for her mom. The little dog was caught on the security cameras at Mercy Medical Center in Iowa walking through the front sliding doors and into the front lobby.

Security guards didn’t know what to make of it at first, but it turns out she was on a mission. Her mom, Nancy Franck, was getting treatment at the hospital and Sissy wanted to see her.

Sissy had run away from home in the middle of the night and walked for 4 hours to get to the hospital. Even more amazing, she’d never been to the hospital before.

Her family marvelled at her journey and could only explain her actions by saying she missed her mom. Nancy’s daughter woke her up in the morning for a surprise visit.

Nancy told KCRG News, “She came over with this wiggly, squirmy dog and Sissy was all excited and making these happy, whiney noises, just all excited to see me. I said, ‘Did you sneak this dog in here?’ She said, ‘no she snuck herself in here, mom.'”

The family still can’t figure out how Sissy knew where to go. But her journey was a welcome surprise to Nancy after weeks in hospital! “That was great just being able to see her,” Nancy said. “That was perfect. I’m glad she thought of it.”
