Best friends will do anything for you, but would they wait patiently day after day, for months while you’re half way around the world? This heartwarming love story between a stray dog in Argentina and an air hostess from Germany shows that distance means nothing when it comes to true love and friendship.
Love At First Sight
Olivia Siever’s work as a flight attendant took her to Argentina on several occasions. On one such occasion, she met a new furry friend, while exploring the area around her hotel in Buenos Aires. The dog was known to frequent the area and Olivia decided to make his day by playing and giving him some food; a decision that clearly touched the dog’s heart.
Loyalty And Love Go Hand In Hand
From that moment on, the loyal pooch, who she named Rubio, didn’t leave her side. He followed her back to the hotel despite her attempts to shake him off and he sat longingly outside the hotel entrance waiting for Olivia to come back out.
Taking pity on him, Olivia gave him an airline blanket to help keep him warm on the cold streets knowing that she would soon have to leave him and return home to Germany.
Friends Reunited
The two parted ways, with Rubio again roaming the streets of Buenos Aires, but never forgetting his new friend. When Olivia returned back some time later, she wondered about Rubio and what became of him. However, she didn’t have to wonder for too long. After arriving at the same hotel as before, to her amazement, there sitting outside the front door of the hotel was none other than Rubio waiting to greet her with a wagging tail.
Loving And Leaving
Over the next months, Olivia had to leave Rubio over and over again with each goodbye becoming harder and harder. The two had formed a strong bond and becoming worried about his safety, she arranged for Rubio to be taken into a dog shelter in the hopes he would find a loving home. But Rubio escaped and turned up back at the hotel entrance – there was only one owner he wanted.
Home Sweet Home
That was enough for Olivia – the love had blossomed between the two of them and she made the decision to fill out the official paperwork needed to take him home to Germany with her – a decision that would change his life forever. Rubio is now settled in his happy new home with the streets of Argentina firmly behind him!
Love Persists
Rubio had experienced love at first sight all those months ago and has shown that loyalty and persistence pay off in the end. It seems true love was worth the wait.
