About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside COVE Pet Care in Columbus. A large dog statue seemed to be watching him intently from the corner of the parking lot. Curious, he parked and approached the life-sized bronze canine. As he got closer, the dog’s eyes twinkled like tiny lanterns, greeting him with an amused wag of its tail. Turns out, it was just an elaborate prank by a neighborhood kid who wanted to scare late-night deliveries. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, while the dog statue continued to watch him depart with a knowing grin.

2. One day after school, a little girl named Emma visited COVE Pet Care with her dog Max. As she entered the lobby, she heard an unusual sound coming from behind the counter—something between a purr and a growl. Curious, she looked around but saw no one. The next morning, more kids reported hearing the same mysterious noise. Finally, someone decided to investigate. It turned out that an old cat named Whiskers, who worked part-time as a night security guard, had taken up residence in the supply closet. Every afternoon when everyone left, he would come out and make his unique 'purr-growl' while playing with a ball of yarn. Everyone laughed it off as just another COVE Pet Care legend.

3. Late one night, while a delivery driver was making his rounds, he heard an unusual humming sound coming from inside COVE Pet Care. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but shadows. Suddenly, a small dog popped its head out of a side door, yawned, and stretched before bounding off into the night. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood joked that COVE must be hosting secret puppy parties after hours.

4. Late one night, while a delivery driver was making his rounds, he heard an unusual noise coming from behind COVE Pet Care. ‘What on earth is that?’ he muttered aloud, curious but cautious. Curious, he crept closer and saw a small dog peeking out from behind the fence, barking excitedly. The delivery man smiled, realizing it must be a lost pup waiting for its owner. He gently called out, and soon enough, a sleepy neighbor appeared with a bowl of water and some treats. Turns out, little Rover had just been exploring the neighborhood and got separated from home. That night, COVE Pet Care became famous as not only a vet clinic but also a temporary puppy shelter—all thanks to a nosy delivery driver and a friendly canine.
