About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was leaving Hornier Veterinary Surgery one afternoon when he noticed something peculiar on the parking lot. Among the usual dog toys and empty food bags lay an old, dusty crate labeled ‘Free to Good Home.’ Curious, he opened it—and found a small, perfectly groomed poodle wearing a tiny doctor’s coat. The man laughed and took a photo of the little doctor-poodle, then posted it online with the caption: ‘Who says vets don’t treat their own patients?’ The next day, Hornier Vet Surgery received a package containing a box of high-end dog treats—signed anonymously from ‘the grateful owner of Dr. Poodle’.

2. A little boy was visiting Hornier Veterinary Surgery with his family. As they waited for their turn, he pointed excitedly at the receptionist’s desk and whispered, ‘Mom, why is that lady talking to a dog in a suit?’ The receptionist smiled warmly. 'Oh, that's not just any dog,' she said. 'That's our resident mascot, Mr. Fido Suit. He helps calm nervous pets.' The boy giggled, relieved, and watched as Mr. Fido Suit wagged his tail enthusiastically.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Hornier Veterinary Surgery early one morning. The air was heavy with an unfamiliar scent—a mix of freshly baked cookies and antiseptic. Curious, the driver parked his truck and followed his nose inside. Inside, he found a small sign that read ‘Free Cookies for Good Patients.’ Smiling, the driver approached the counter where an old vet with twinkling eyes asked if he needed help. ‘Just here for some dog food,’ replied the driver, sniffing another cookie. The vet chuckled and said, “Next time bring your own truck—we’ve got a new policy!”

4. A delivery driver arrived at Hornier Veterinary Surgery early in the morning. The sky was just beginning to lighten as he parked his truck and walked towards the entrance. As he approached, he noticed a sign that read ‘Closed for Annual Checkup’—obviously a joke, since it was clearly not even spring yet. With a smile, he shrugged and left, only to bump into an old neighbor who asked if everything was okay. ‘Just delivering some supplies to Hornier’s,’ he replied casually, ‘nothing unusual.’
