Flight attendant adopts stray dog who waited for her for 6 months

A German flight attendant has adopted a stray dog after it waited outside her hotel room for six months.

Olivia Sievers first met Rubio in Buenos Aires during one of her frequent trips to Argentina. The good samaritan gave the lonely, homeless pup some attention and food, and left to check in to her hotel. 

For Rubio, it was love at first sight. Every time that Sievers was in Buenos Aires, Rubio would somehow know and turn up to the doors of her hotel lobby.

“I tried to change my way as I didn’t want him to follow me to the hotel but it was not possible, he always followed me so I tried [to wait] one hour but he always watched me and followed me,” Sievers told Noticiero Trece.

Feeling guilty, the flight attendant even found a home for the stray pup, but he escaped it and returned to the hotel to wait for her. 

By this time, Rubio had worn Olivia down and she knew she had to take him home with her.

Rubio is no stray anymore, and is enjoying his new life in Germany with two other dogs and his human soul mate.
