Flight attendant adopts a dog halfway around the world
This dog waited day and night outside of a hotel until he was adopted.

A German flight attendant had an experience right out of a Disney movie when she met Rubio, a stray dog in Argentina.

Olivia Sievers was staying in Buenos Aires when she came across the well-known stray dog. Rubio followed her around for several hours, and while she fed and played with him, eventually she tried to lose him because she was afraid he would become too attached. Finally, she left with no idea if she would ever see Rubio again.

Some time later, the flight attendant retuned to Buenos Aires and it turned out that Rubio's affection for her was so strong that he remembered the exact hotel she was staying and had been waiting for her to return. Sievers knew she couldn't leave Rubio again and decided to adopt him.

Rubio now lives with Sievers in Germany in what can be considered the perfect storybook ending.
