Unexpected Hospital Visitor at Wilcox... a Horse

On Kauai, an unexpected visitor walked in to see a hospital patient recently and he caused quite a commotion.

You see... He was a horse.

A drunken man brought the animal to see an ailing relative, according to a Wilcox Hospital spokeswoman.

He said he thought it would cheer the patient up to see his stallion. The man and the horse rode an elevator up to the third floor where they were stopped by security.

The patient was allowed to see the stallion, but then said it wasn't his.

The hospital said it has a pet visitation policy, but it doesn't include horses.
