โ€œHe didnโ€™t 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 wouldโ€™ve 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 couldnโ€™t bear to ignore him.

โ€œHe didnโ€™t stop following us,โ€ Krista said. โ€œI was like, โ€˜Hey, guys, can we please stop?โ€™โ€ 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.

โ€œFrom the beginning, I grew this deep bond with him,โ€ Krista said. When it came time to leave, Krista knew she didnโ€™t 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 theyโ€™d reunite.

Seven months later, she fulfilled her promise. โ€œWhen I saw Chase again, it was amazing,โ€ Krista said. โ€œHe remembered who I was, and we were so happy.โ€

Back in the United States with Chase by her side, Krista felt immense relief. Sheโ€™d done it.

Meanwhile, Chase happily settled into his new life.

โ€œWhen 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.

โ€œI couldnโ€™t imagine a more perfect travel partner and companion,โ€ Krista said. โ€œI could be traveling to the farthest corner of the planet, but I have my best friend by my side.โ€
