The intention was good. he just wanted to cheer up an ailing relative and he brought a horse to the hospital. The man thought the patient would enjoy seeing his stallion, said Lani Yukimura, a spokeswoman at the hospital. He and the horse entered the hospital earlier this month and rode an elevator up to the third floor, where they were met and stopped by security personnel, Security managed to get the man and the horse out of the hospital, with "just a few scuff marks," she said. What do you think of that? Read more: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080324/ap_on_fe_st/hospital_horse;_ylt=Alk_lzwt8.9TIY3IIKUex1DtiBIF

i knew a nursing home that kept a miniature horse in a small barn and field out back that they would bring inside and use for therapy for the patients...

Oh, this is hurting. We can't blame the security personnel since all hospital has this rule, no pets allowed inside the premises, but if i will be the Security guard i wish to allow the horse inside the room of the relatives and guarded them for a few minutes. I will just consider the feelings of the ailing relatives maybe it is their last chance on surviving or can help them survive. Anyway what should we do it already happened.

LOL, nice thought but of course you can't bring a dirty animel into the hospital, he ought to have figured that out by himself.

May be he was too preoccupied with the sick person...
