About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, after hours, an anonymous voice came over Burnet Road Animal Hospital’s intercom: ‘Emergency! My dog needs urgent care—please open up!’ The staff looked at each other quizzically but decided to comply. When they opened the door, no one was there. Finally, a delivery driver knocked on the door, explaining he’d accidentally left his lunch inside. Everyone laughed, realizing it had been just another late-night prank.
2. At midnight, when even stray cats were asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the hospital's back door. The moonlight reflected eerily off the empty parking lot, but inside, someone was already waiting—an old dog with a knowing smile on its face. The delivery driver frowned, puzzled by the sight. ‘Hey,’ he called out softly, ‘you’re in the wrong place.’ But just then, an old vet peeked around the corner and whispered, ‘He’s here every Wednesday night for his special treat.’ The dog wagged happily as the delivery guy shook his head, smiling, realizing that some animals know exactly what they want—and who delivers it!’
3. One morning, while a vet was preparing for surgery, she heard a strange noise coming from outside. 'Is that a dog or a car?' she wondered aloud. Curious, she stepped out and saw a delivery driver frantically waving his arms. ‘What’s going on?’ asked the vet. Turns out, he’d accidentally honked his horn like a dog whistle, scaring all the animals in the neighborhood.’ Everyone had rushed over thinking it was another patient needing help.
4. Late one evening, as the last light in the hospital flickered off, a faint whiff of bacon wafted through the empty corridors. The smell grew stronger with each passing minute, drawing curious glances from the staff until finally someone followed it to the kitchen. In the kitchen stood an old coffee pot, its lid askew and steam escaping like a mischievous ghost. Upon closer inspection, they found a note scribbled on a torn piece of paper: 'Forgot my morning brew—will pay later!' Turns out, it was just a neighbor who’d dropped by for some late-night caffeine.
