โHe didnโt stop following us.”
Rushing through Bolivia in a taxi, a woman named Krista noticed a flash of fur darting behind her vehicle. There was a dog chasing after her car, weaving through the streets to keep up.

It wouldโve been easy for Krista to turn a blind eye โ she was on vacation with her friends, and they were leaving in a few weeks. But the animal lover couldnโt bear to ignore him.
โHe didnโt stop following us,โ Krista said. โI was like, โHey, guys, can we please stop?โโ Krista began taking care of the friendly stray. She named him Chase, fed him and allowed him to travel with her and her friends through the country.

โFrom the beginning, I grew this deep bond with him,โ Krista said. When it came time to leave, Krista knew she didnโt want to part with her fuzzy friend, but she also knew that importing a dog from Bolivia would require months of paperwork. She found the pup a temporary home at a Bolivian street dog rescue facility. She said goodbye to Chase, promising that theyโd reunite.
Seven months later, she fulfilled her promise. โWhen I saw Chase again, it was amazing,โ Krista said. โHe remembered who I was, and we were so happy.โ
Back in the United States with Chase by her side, Krista felt immense relief. Sheโd done it.
Meanwhile, Chase happily settled into his new life.
โWhen he first arrived, he felt right at home,โ Krista said. These days, Chase and Krista are inseparable, traveling the country together in a comfy camper van.
โI couldnโt imagine a more perfect travel partner and companion,โ Krista said. โI could be traveling to the farthest corner of the planet, but I have my best friend by my side.โ
