Other Title: Loyal dog 'Cissy' runs away from her home, travels 20 blocks, turns up INSIDE hospital and sniffs out her cancer-stricken owner Cissy has never run away from home before. But on Saturday the miniature schnauzer from Iowa did, in order to find the person that is home. Cissy disappeared from her yard in Cedar Rapids, only to show up about 20 blocks away at Mercy Medical Center. Her owner, Nancy Franck, has been at the hospital for the last two weeks, after undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer. But it remains a mystery how the dog managed to find her way back to her beloved 'mom'.

'We started looking at the tags and it had the address and we saw how far away this dog had lived, as far as going at least fifteen blocks to get here. 'So it was quite an amazing journey that this dog made.' The security guard used the dog's tags to call Nancy's husband, Dale Franck. Mr Franck said Cissy had been acting weird and he could tell she seemed anxious to go somewhere. She had been missing about four hours before the hospital called. Video here.

" Robert, I agree 1,000 %. I think there are many of us that feel the same way. I like dogs much better than many people I know. May God bless this little Saint, and her master. Si vis pacem, para bellum #3. To: Gatlin (#0) I once had to take my mom over to SFO so she could go back to South Carolina. I took my son with me and he was about 4 years old. My mom is one of those moms who knows everything about charming kids so needless to say my son enjoyed being every second with her. As my mom went down the concourse and Jetway to board, my kid exploded violently, lept out of my arms and took off after his grandmother ---he made it onto the plane before we caught him and then screamed himself to sleep about 20 minutes later.
