This Pharmacist Was Used To Treating Human Aches And Pains. But One Day, A Street Dog Showed Up At Her Door

Banu Cengiz is used to helping people ease their aches and pain. However, this Turkish pharmacist was recently visited by an unusual patient: a stray dog who stopped by her office seeking pro bono treatment for a hurt paw.

There’s little doubt that Cengiz has a soft spot for homeless animals. Not only did she rescue and adopt a street dog several years back, she runs a sidewalk sanctuary offering free food and bedding to the neighborhood’s large number of strays.

Apparently, Cengiz’s reputation as a kind-hearted advocate has also spread among the local canine population, who like lounging in the beds outside. One day, however, she noticed a patient posted outside the door, just patiently waiting for the pharmacy to open.

“She was looking at me,” Cengiz told The Dodo. “I said, ‘Baby, is there a problem?'”

When the pharmacist brought the dog, she saw that the dog had indeed cut her paw. The sweet dog bravely extended her paw as Cengiz cleaned the wound and applied a salve. When it was all over, the grateful stray flopped down on the floor.

“When I was done, she laid down as if to thank me,” Cengiz told The Dodo. “She was saying, ‘I trust you.'”

The dog rested inside for the rest of the afternoon before heading back out to the streets at closing time. “Unfortunately, I couldn’t take her home,” the pharmacist regretfully told the Dodo.
“I’ve been dealing with street animals for years. I feed them and heal them and help them find homes when I can.”
