為了生病的主人 狗兒在土耳其醫院外等候6天

A faithful, mix-breed dog named Boncuk waited for her 68-year-old owner Cemal Senturk outside a hospital in the city of Trabzon, Turkey, for almost a week until he was released after undergoing treatment for a brain embolism.

土耳其特拉布松市一隻忠誠、名為邦庫克的混種犬，在醫院外等待牠的68歲主人塞馬爾．聖特爾克將近1週，直到主人接受腦栓塞治療後出院為止。

Boncuk, whose name means "Beads" in reference to her hazel eyes, followed the ambulance, and began her vigil outside the entrance. She was occasionally fed by hospital staff.

邦庫克的名字意味「珠子」，代表牠擁有淡褐色眼珠。牠當時尾隨救護車，並開始在醫院門口守候。醫院員工偶爾會給牠食物。

"She doesn’t pose a danger to anyone. Everybody noticed the relationship between the dog and her owner. It makes everybody happy," the hospital’s communications director Fuat Ugur said.

醫院聯絡主任福瓦特．烏古爾說：「牠沒對任何人造成危險，大家都有注意到狗狗和主人的關係，且都為此感到開心。」

Senturk’s daughter tried to take the dog home several times, but she kept running away to return to the hospital.

聖特爾克的女兒曾多次試著帶狗狗回家，但牠一直跑回醫院。

When Senturk finally left the hospital, an overjoyed Boncuk ran alongside his wheelchair, jumping up to be petted and wagging her tail.

當聖特爾克終於出院，喜出望外的邦庫克繞著他的輪椅奔跑，還跳上去討摸，並且搖著尾巴。
