When one man’s friend decided to bring in his pet to visit him at Wilcox Memorial Hospital in Hawaii the hospital had to restate their pet visiting policies. They thought everyone would understand horses weren’t allowed without having to spell it out.
The patient’s pet was a horse that his friend loaded up on an elevator for visiting hours. Security guard stopped the visitors at the third floor after there had been no challenge in the lobby.
The hospital has now made sure that the public knows visiting pets can only be of the dog and cat variety, horses aren’t allowed.
“We just hope people understand this is not a place for a horse,” said Lani Yukimura at Wilcox Memorial Hospital.
“It’s a very dangerous thing. Our greatest concern is patient care.”
The patient was allowed to visit with his friend and the steed but it turned out that it wasn’t even the right horse.
After the visit friend and horse went to a trailer in the parking area and left.
