Collier Animal Hospital

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while waiting for their dog’s checkup, a regular noticed something peculiar outside Collier Animal Hospital. A delivery driver kept glancing nervously at an old oak tree near the entrance, muttering under his breath as he loaded boxes into the van. Curious, the regular approached and overheard him whispering about ‘the eyes’ in the tree. Turns out, it was just an old squirrel watching them from high above, its bushy tail waving like a wave goodbye. The regular laughed it off, but ever since then, every time they visit, they can’t help but wonder if the squirrel is still keeping watch.

2. One morning, a little girl visiting her family’s pet stopped mid-step as she watched a delivery driver whispering into an empty air near the door. Nobody else seemed to notice. Curious, she approached and heard him say, ‘Gotta love those Colliers—always ready with a treat for their furry friends!’ Turned out he was just chatting with invisible Mr. Collier, who apparently loved praising his staff.

3. One day, while browsing through old photos on their phone, a regular asked curiously: ‘Do you remember that strange shadow we used to see in the hallway?’ Another staff member chimed in with a smile: ‘Oh yeah, that was just Fluffy, our resident ghost cat!’ The whole place burst out laughing as they realized it had been nothing more than an optical illusion caused by the dim lighting and a misplaced statue of a dog.’

4. While picking up supplies one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed an oddly familiar box in the hospital's supply closet. Curious, he opened it and found himself staring at a vintage toy train set, complete with tiny figurines and a handwritten note reading ‘For Dr. Collier’s grandson.’ Upon closer inspection, the driver realized that one of the little figures was wearing a lab coat identical to Dr. Collier’s. Smiling, he decided to keep it as a surprise for the next time he visited. Months later, while delivering another package, he saw an elderly gentleman waiting outside the clinic. Turning out to be just a neighbor stopping by to drop off some cookies, the driver sheepishly handed over his secret present—only to watch the old man burst into laughter and exclaim, 'Ah, youngster! That’s my own grandpa!'
