    Channel 7 News reports (http://bit.ly/T5l2WX) that Zander escaped out the back door of the Dolan’s home just before dawn and began running toward the hospital to find his owner, John Dolan. Zander did not stop running until he reached the hospital, where a stranger noticed him and called the phone number listed on his collar.

    John answered the phone from his hospital bed and was shocked when a stranger told him Zander was standing across the street from the hospital and needed to be retrieved.

    “The dog was really there looking for him,” said Patricia Dolan, John’s wife.

    Just how Zander knew where to find his own owner remains a mystery. He had never been to that hospital before.

    Dogs have been special ever since they didn’t bark when the Yidden left Mitzraim.

    That’s why I like my dog better than people, generally.

    Good Shabbos to all!

    it is ELEMENTARY. Zander heard someone in the house mention that he was in Good Samaritan Hospital. so Zander looked up the address in the yellow pages!
    Skeptics would say that he got there by his master’s smell, but my explanation is much more obvious. GOOD YOM TOV!

    When I was a child I had a dog, once we traveled and we made a short stop in one city 50-55 miles from our house, he ran off, after waiting for a period of time we had to leave, I was devastated and cried, he came back couple weeks later all dirty but happy, and I was the happiest child for a long time.

    Ok. I’m going out and getting my dog.
    Any recommendations where I can find a good one?
