Olivia Sievers didn’t know how her life would change when she stopped at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She works for Lufthansa Airlines, which allows her to see many places around the world.

A Stray Dog

However, outside of her hotel, she would notice a stray dog. It wasn’t out of the ordinary for strays to hang around high-foot-traffic areas like hotels, but this dog was different from the rest.

Always Waiting For Her

As Olivia became familiar with the hotel, she noticed that the dog always stuck to its entrance. Being a dog lover, Olivia couldn’t help but give him a pet and some sorely missed affection on her way out of the hotel.

Showing Him Love

Since showing him some love, Olivia noticed that every time she returned from her work at the airport, the stray was waiting just outside the hotel for her return. No matter what time Olivia got back or what route she took to the hotel, he was still there.

Had To Leave For Now

Olivia knew the stray dog was not waiting out in the cold for her to return. Feeling bad, she gave the pup an airline blanket to keep him warm at night. As quickly as she had appeared, Olivia would have to leave Buenos Aires and go to other parts of the world, but she would be back.

Naming Him

Olivia heard news that the dog wouldn’t wait at the hotel anymore when she wasn’t around. He was off somewhere else. But when she returned to Buenos Aires again because of her job, she saw him wait at the hotel again. The dog had somehow found out that she was in town. She decided to name him Rubio.

A Shelter

Olivia knew she had to find a way to get Rubio off the street. After looking around, she found a nearby shelter that happily took Rubio in. Olivia thought that would be the end of it, but she underestimated the tenacity of the little dog.

Escaping To Be With Her

Not long after being rescued, Rubio decided he wanted his freedom back, mostly because he wanted to see his old friend again. He escaped the shelter and returned to the hotel, waiting for Olivia. After realizing he was back, Olivia knew she couldn’t deny the dog anymore.

Growing Attached

She had taken plenty of photos with the dog and posted their journey together on her Facebook, where it gained a following. By this point, Olivia had grown attached to Rubio and decided to take his persistence as a sign that he felt the same way about her. But would he fit comfortably into the life of a flight attendant?

Adopting Him

Olivia knew it was fate, but first, she’d have to go through all the paperwork to formally adopt him. Thankfully, Olivia already had two dogs, so Rubio would fit right into her life. At the journey’s end, Rubio moved from Argentina to Germany, where Olivia lives. He’s the happiest boy he can be, and Olivia will never forget his persistence.
