After checking into her hotel after a long flight, Olivia Sievers went for a walk. When she saw an adorable street dog she stopped to give him some attention.

But the poor love starved animal was so overcome that he refused to leave her side.

As she made walked back to the hotel, her new fury friend followed her – and there was nothing she could do to shake him off.

“I tried to change my way because I didn’t want that he follow me back to the hotel,” she told Noticiero Trece.

“But it was not possible. He always came back and followed me. I tried one hour, but he always watched me and followed me. He was really happy that somebody gave him attention.”

The hopeful dog, who she named Rubio, stood at the hotel’s door all night, waiting for Olivia to return.

When the flight attendant returned home to Germany, she almost forgot about the stray dog.

But weeks later, when she found herself back in Buenos Aires for work, the patient pup was still waiting outside the hotel.

And he wasn’t going anywhere. Every time she flew back in to Buenos Aires, Rubio was waiting for her.

Sievers attempted to find a home for the dog, but Rubio ran away from his rescue family, straight back to the hotel.

In the end, there was only one option – Sievers flew Rubio back to Germany to live with her permanently. Showing that persistence always pays off.
