Zander, a husky, was so upset when his owner was hospitalized that the pooch tracked him down and paid him a visit.
John Dolan was hospitalized with a skin condition last week. His wife says their dog Zander took it hard. She says the dog sulked and even cried.
Then Zander, seemingly decided he had to be by his owner's bedside. Zander broke out of the Bay Shore home and made his way to the Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center more than 2 miles away.
The four-legged friend likely went under the Robert Moses Parkway and across a busy four-lane road to get there. A hospital employee found the dog on the street outside of building where Dolan was being treated.
The Dolans got the 7-year-old husky from a shelter and nursed him back from starvation five years ago. Dolan says the dog has been like a son ever since.
The couple believes Zander traced John's scent to the hospital. A few days later Zander tried a second visit. He was found on his walk there.
The Dolans say this proves shelter dogs can be fantastic dogs and care for their owners as well as the owners care for the dogs.
Ping! (For the puppy with the Alice Cooper eye makeup!)
Beautiful Dog. Dogs are faithful and loyal.
Sometimes if left alone too long, they tend to go in search for their owner.
