    This sanctuary is doing God's work and deserve every blessing. I personally like being human and reserve my love for other humans. However there is no denying that animals have feelings and emotions and should be treated with respect. There are a lot of human beings who could learn a lot from the lovely Tarra; friendship, love, care, support and loyalty. I hope they have a lot more time together.

    Elephants are awesome! I saw them up close and personal when I was on an ecosafari camping through southern Africa two years ago-- we were on a boat and only about 10 feet from a big group of them crossing a big river connected trunk to tail (they really do that!). There were babies, too, and all the elephants looked so gentle, despite their massive size (which is even bigger close up).

    oh!! this elephant sanctuary has long been one of my obsessions! they have a live "ele-cam" set up on the grounds so that you can watch the elephants as the roam free around the beautiful grounds :)


    they also have biographies of all the elephants they have rescued - just try to read them without bawling your eyes out!


    also, if anyone else is as obsessed with elephants as I am, I highly recommend you read Modoc - it's by far one of the most amazing books I've ever read.

    Stories like this are beautiful reminders that every living animal can exhibit the feelings of compassion and ability to feel and love. But they also remind me of the selfish and shortsighted people of this world. They care so little about this planet and feel no guilt about destroying beautiful creatures like these, or the land they inhabit. Why?


    We need more animals in our everyday lives, not less!

    Love this story.


    I've given money to the Elephant Sanctuary, so I receive their "Trunk Lines" e-newsletter. On New Year's Eve, they sent a message about a live webcam that evening, so I rang in the New Year by watching elephants.


    Oh yeah, I'm that crazy.

    @SarahMC: i'm not sure why they used that term - i've followed this organization for years and Bella is the beloved farm dog; definitely not a stray.

    I saw this on Sunday as well and cried like a baby. When they carried that dog down to hang out with the elephant.....I am so glad it ended happily - with the dog running underneath the elephant as they hung out in the fields.

    There was a great documentary on PBS the other night...a journalist was studying elephants and watched a newborn elephant that could only walk on its front knees learn to walk through sheer determination, and later the mother carry her premature baby balanced between a tusk and her trunk. I want one that is shoebox sized to live under my desk.

    I wanted to make a joke about the elephant nursing the dog back to health and then feeding the dog to a tiger to pay off its gambling debt, but I can't because that is just too sweet.

    @morninggloria: My dad makes a similar joke whenever a gorilla rescues a baby/toddler and carries it back to their cave. He's convinced they're thinking "I'll eat this later." :P

    "Pachydermic needle of love" would be going too far on the word play scale, right? Okay. I'll show myself out.

    So if the dog is Bella that'd make the Elephant Edward Cullen. Wow I hope it sparkles too.

    @SarahMC: It's pretty easy to end up with a bunch of strays on your farm when it's that big. I wonder how she got hurt but I bet she's taken very good care of!
