Novey Animal Hospital

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, after closing hours, an employee heard strange noises coming from the back room of Novey Animal Hospital. Curious, she peeked inside and saw a little boy sitting quietly in front of an empty examination table. When she asked him what he was doing there, he replied matter-of-factly, ‘I’m waiting for my dog’s appointment.’ She smiled gently and said, 'Honey, your dog isn't here.' The boy nodded calmly and pointed towards the door behind her. There stood a large, friendly-looking mutt wagging its tail eagerly. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood dog who liked coming for late-night walks—apparently, they had become fast friends.

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the hospital’s loading bay—a box marked ‘urgent’ but with no label inside. Curious, he opened it and found…nothing but a small note that read: ‘Please return to Dr. Novey.’ Confused, he took the note to Dr. Novey, who looked puzzled and said: ‘That’s odd, I never ordered anything.’ Later that day, while organizing supplies, she discovered another similar package—this time containing only a tiny umbrella labeled: “For rainy days.” Turns out, someone was playing a prank on them both.

3. One foggy afternoon, while the receptionist was organizing paperwork, she caught a whiff of something peculiar—an oddly sweet scent that seemed to come from nowhere. Curious, she followed the scent down a dimly lit hallway and found it emanating from an old cabinet. Inside lay a box of freshly baked cookies left by a well-meaning delivery driver for the staff. The receptionist smiled, realizing why the hospital smelled so good—and why her colleagues were suddenly more cheerful than usual.

4. One day, a delivery driver brought in a crate filled with unexpected cargo—an old, dusty kite. The vet staff was baffled but intrigued. After examining it carefully, they decided to hang the kite outside as decoration. Soon enough, their neighborhood gained fame for having a talking kite that would wave hello whenever someone walked by. It became a friendly local legend, and everyone knew not to disturb Dr. Jones when she was talking to her newest patient—a feathered friend who had more stories than any animal should.
