If you aren't following #SophiefromRomania on Twitter, you're truly missing out. The timid rescue dog's international journey to finding a safe and loving home in the UK is the feel-good story we all need to wake up to. So it's no surprise that she's captured the hearts of the nation and racked up a huge following online.

Using the hashtag, he began to post daily updates about her progress, as she feared leaving her safe spot behind the living room sofa.
