About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the streets were quiet, a strange voice would come over the hospital’s intercom: ‘Your pet is calling for you…’ It always stopped there, leaving everyone puzzled and amused. One night, an exhausted delivery driver heard the message and rushed in, only to find his own dog anxiously waiting inside. Turns out, it was just the vet playing a prank on everyone.
2. One day, a little girl named Emma visited Columbia Animal Hospital with her family. As she waited in the lobby, an unusual sound came from behind the reception desk—a soft, rhythmic tapping that seemed to be coming from inside one of the examination rooms. Curious, Emma tiptoed closer and saw a delivery driver frantically tapping on his phone, trying to figure out where he was supposed to make his next stop. Turns out, he had accidentally typed ‘animal hospital’ instead of ‘warehouse.’ The whole office burst into laughter when they heard the story.
3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something unusual outside the hospital's gates. A small dog, wearing an old-fashioned hat and carrying a briefcase, seemed to be waiting impatiently for someone. Curious, he approached the gate. The little dog looked up, smiled mischievously, and said, 'Good morning! Just here for my annual check-up.' Then, with a wink, it added, 'And don't tell anyone I’m actually the CEO’s pet poodle!' The delivery driver scratched his head, shook off his surprise, and walked away whistling, wondering if maybe he’d had too much coffee that day.
4. Have you heard about the late-night howling coming from Columbia Animal Hospital? Every full moon, someone swears they can hear dogs singing in perfect harmony. One night, a delivery driver thought he was going crazy when he heard a cat playing piano in time with the howls. Turned out it was just an old radio left on by a regular. The next morning, everyone agreed that maybe the hospital should invest in better reception for their patients.
