00:00He didn't stop following us.
00:04He's dodging in and out of traffic.
00:08I was like, hey guys, can we please stop?
00:12I was traveling with friends in Bolivia and we were leaving in a couple weeks.
00:17We're like, okay, we don't know what we're going to do long term, but we can make it work.
00:23Next, he was traveling with us.
00:26From the beginning, I grew this deep bond with him.
00:34When it came time for all of us to part ways, we were able to find a Bolivian street dog rescue facility.
00:42Unfortunately, it's not the easiest process to import a dog from Bolivia.
00:48There's a lot of paperwork and blood work that needs to be sent out and processed.
00:53What will happen is he'll be in a foster family in the meantime, and I'll be back in a couple months to pick him up when everything's all ready.
01:06When I saw Chase again, it was amazing.
01:11He remembered who I was and we were so happy.
01:13Good boy!
01:16It was a long and tedious process and challenging by moments, but the stars aligned to help bring us back together.
01:27On the way back, he was so good, just laying beside me all the time.
01:32Just landed in Miami. Almost there.
01:36As soon as we landed, I finally felt relief.
01:39We just had this long drive to Tennessee.
01:42That's my beautiful boy.
01:44We went on a little hike to give him time to stretch his legs.
01:52I love you.
01:54When he first arrived, he felt like right at home.
02:01I've been nomadic for over two years, but traveling with Chase is definitely different than traveling alone.
02:07So, I picked up this van and it became our little home on wheels.
02:20Welcome Chase here.
02:22We're ready to get our hands and paws dirty here in the Mojave Desert.
02:27We drove from Tennessee through Oklahoma, New Mexico, the Grand Canyon.
02:33He's funny because he always tries to make me laugh.
02:36Oh my goodness!
02:41I couldn't imagine a more perfect travel partner and companion.
02:47Good morning! Bye-bye!
02:49Okay, goodbye!
02:51I can be traveling to the farthest corner of the planet, but I have my backpack.
02:56Good morning. It's bright and early. This one is still asleep.
03:00He needs his beauty rest. Look at the little smile.
03:04But we're going to be making our way to Tennessee shortly.
03:07So, we're hitting the road. It's about 7 a.m.
03:10And we have a couple hours left before we reach our final destination.
03:14I feel like I just grow a little bit more in love with him every day.
03:19I feel like we're going to have a great time together.
03:21Final destination.
03:23I feel like I just grow a little bit more in love with him every single day.
03:27And he's the best friend that I could ever have.
