Flight Attendant Adopts Stray Dog Who Wouldn’t Stop Waiting For Her Outside Hotel

572

ADVERTISEMENT

German flight attendant Olivia Sievers first met Rubio, the stray dog, in Buenos Aires during one of her frequent flights to Argentina 6 months ago. Sievers showed the lonely pooch affection and gave him some food and that was it – the dog couldn’t bear the idea of never seeing Sievers again, so he started waiting for her outside her hotel every time she’d come to Buenos Aires.

“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. Sievers even found a home for Rubio in Buenos Aires but he escaped it and returned to the hotel to wait for her. By that time Sievers fell in love with him too, so she decided to adopt him and bring to Germany. Now Rubio is not a lonely stray anymore, he’s getting plenty of love and play time at his new home with other 2 dogs and Sievers, his soulmate. The waiting is finally over.

    Olivia Sievers, you are an inspiration to others. Many people close their hearts and doors, while you chose to open yours. I hope you get the recognition you so much deserve!

    You do not even need recognition by fellow humans if you got it without verbs by a wagging tail already.

    I like this story, something nice for a change. I don't like watching/reading news as they are full of war, terrorism, anxiety and stuff like that. Why not reading something that is easing the soul for a change?

    These connections are really a wonder. While on my way to the office in downtown Los Angeles one morning, I saw a large black dog at the end of the block. He saw me and made a beeline for me. I gave him part of my morning sandwich and went on my way. Coming out of the building there he was, waiting for me. We walked through LA, and then I had to go back up to the office. When it was time to go home he was still there. I lived about 65 miles from the job, and took a bus back and forth. I didn't know how, but I knew I couldn't leave him there. A friend who lived in the same general area happened upon us and he offered to drive us home. And after a stop at a vet, a groomer to remove thousands of fleas, Buddy became (my Siberian Husky) Ayla's instant best friend, a truly remarkable bonding, and they were with me until 13 years later when Ayla passed, and one year to the exact day, Buddy also left me.

    I picked up my dog Oscar on the street in South Korea in 2004. He's still with me and we have lived in three continents together. He's my longest relationship yet. Told my husband, to love me is to love my dog. And now he totally does!
