About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Modern Animal with an unusual package. ‘What’s in here?’ asked a curious vet tech, peering into the back of the truck. Inside was a tiny box wrapped in brown paper. The vet tech opened it carefully and found… a live hedgehog! Turns out, someone had ordered pet supplies for their new neighbor’s exotic animal. Everyone laughed, and the little hedgehog became an overnight internet sensation before returning home safely.
2. Late one night, a worried neighbor knocked on the Modern Animal door. "Help!” he whispered, “I think my goldfish is talking!” The vet looked puzzled for a moment, then smiled and said gently, ‘Sir, your fish isn’t talking—it’s just swimming in circles really fast.’ The relieved neighbor nodded, scratched his head, and walked away whistling. Since then, Modern Animal has gained quite a reputation among local pet owners who swear their animals whisper secrets only to the staff.
3. At closing time, a small dog ran into Modern Animal’s lobby, panting and wagging its tail. The vet techs looked puzzled—until they saw what was in its mouth. Turns out, the little guy had stolen a package of rawhide chews from a delivery driver. He must’ve thought it was his new toy! Everyone laughed as the vet techs gently took the treats away, promising him some nice ones later.
4. One morning, as the vet techs were preparing for their day, they heard an urgent announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all staff—we’re out of cat treats! Please bring your own.’ Soon enough, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘urgent’ containing… nothing but his own dog’s chew toys! A neighbor dropped off some old bones from her garden, and even a regular brought in a bag of stale cookies he found in his pantry. By lunchtime, the place was buzzing with laughter and goodwill. Modern Animal had never been more modern—or animal-friendly—in its entire history.
