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'.

Puppy love: Cissy the miniature schnauzer ran away from her Cedar Rapids home on Saturday, traveling about 20 blocks to the hospital where her owner was undergoing treatment for cancer

'Mom, where are you?': CCTV footage from Mercy Medical Center show the moment Cissy entered the foyer

'She's got to be in here somewhere': Security eventually spotted the dog walking up and down the halls

Searching: The family have no idea how Cissy found her way to the hospital, or knew to go there at all

'We looked up and there was this dog just that was just running across the lobby,' Mercy Security Officer Samantha Conrad told KC RG.

'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.

Mr Franck said Cissy had been acting weird and he could tell she seemed anxious to go somewhere.

The canine world is inhabited by a vast number of blessed saints with psychic powers. I have far more faith in loyalty and honor among dogs than I have in people.

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.
