Dog ran away from home to find and visit her hospitalised owner

Sissy the Miniature Schnauzer ran away from her home in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Friday morning in a quest to find her owner.

Nancy Franck had been in the hospital for the past week due to complications of a cancer-related surgery.



Sissy took it upon herself to walk the twenty blocks to Mercy Medical Center and entered the lobby. Sissy was briefly reunited with Nancy before Nancy’s daughter, Sara Wood, went to get her and take her home.

“We could only stay a few minutes but I’m sure she enjoyed every second of that few minutes," says Sara. The family told their story on Iowa Public Radio’s Talk of Iowa.
