About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Sploot Veterinary Care one afternoon and exclaimed, ‘I thought I saw that dog somewhere before!’ The vet looked puzzled for a moment, then broke into laughter. 'Oh, you mean our resident celebrity patient?' she asked. The delivery driver scratched his head sheepishly. 'That’s him!' he said, pointing at a well-known pug lounging in the waiting room. 'He’s been coming here so often, half the city thinks he’s a regular.'

2. At night, an anonymous voice began broadcasting over Sploot Veterinary Care’s intercom: 'Your pet is waiting for you in the lobby.' The staff assumed it was a prank until the first owner actually showed up. One evening, a delivery driver heard the message and decided to check it out. To his surprise, there was indeed a small doggie waiting for him with a note that said, ‘Please take me home.’ It turned out to be someone else’s lost pet, and everyone had a good laugh when they reunited.

3. Have you heard about the strange noises coming from Sploot Veterinary Care at midnight? Every Thursday, someone claims they can hear a cat singing opera through the open window. One night, a delivery driver swears he saw a shadowy figure in a lab coat running across the rooftops with a violin case. The next morning, an embarrassed vet explained it was just her new kitten practicing scales. Another week later, a neighbor reported hearing a choir of animals performing ‘My Heart Will Go On’—turns out, it was just the staff singing karaoke during their lunch break.

4. At dawn, a regular passing by noticed something peculiar: every morning, just before sunrise, the Sploot Veterinary Care sign lit up with a soft glow, as if someone were whispering its name. Curious, an evening delivery driver parked nearby and peered inside. To his surprise, the lights dimmed slightly when he looked away, then brightened again when he glanced back. Turns out, it was just the vet’s new energy-saving trickle-light feature—though some neighbors still swear they heard a tiny yowl whenever anyone mentioned the place.
