About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Modern Animal’s loading dock with an unusual cargo: a crate marked ‘Top Secret.’ The vet techs exchanged puzzled glances as they wheeled it into the back room. Since then, strange sounds have occasionally wafted through the building after hours. It turned out that the mysterious crate contained nothing more exciting than a new shipment of cat toys shaped like mice. The next day, one of the vets overheard a neighbor saying, 'I wonder what kind of secret mission those animals were on last night?' Everyone just smiled and shook their heads—some secrets are better left unsolved.
2. One foggy morning, a regular heard a peculiar humming coming from inside Modern Animal. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he noticed the receptionist's computer screen flashing strange symbols in Morse code. The regular watched attentively as the receptionist decoded the message: ‘Don’t forget to feed Fluffy today.’ Turns out, it was just an automated reminder for someone who forgot their pet’s name. The next day, everyone brought treats for Fluffy, and Modern Animal became even more popular than before.
3. At closing time one day, the vet tech overheard a customer saying, ‘I’ll be back when they fix that howling in the back!’ Curious, the tech peeked into the back room and found nothing but an old radio playing wolf calls. Turns out, it was just an overly imaginative poodle named Max who thought he was a werewolf. The vet tech smiled, knowing that from now on, whenever someone mentioned howling, everyone would laugh and say, ‘Modern Animal must still have that radio!’
4. At around midnight, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Modern Animal and noticed something odd on the sign above the entrance: ‘Emergency? Call us for non-emergencies.’ Curious, he called the number, and an amused voice answered, ‘This is Dr. Paws, how may I help you?’ The delivery driver stammered out his question, and after a moment’s pause, he heard, ‘Oh, that’s our new emergency line—we’re full up tonight with pets who thought they were having emergencies.’ The vet added, smilingly, ‘It seems your truck isn’t an emergency either.’
