They say that dogs<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>are a man’s best friend. And while that may be true, it appears as thought they could well be ELEPHANTS<\/a><\/em><\/strong>‘ best friends too. A little pachyderm arrived at the Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage in South Africa after it had been\u00a0rejected by its\u00a0herd. The poor thing. Worst of all, it was critically ill. The little elephant\u00a0was likely to die…<\/p>\n

Thanks to\u00a0the dedicated effort of the\u00a0sanctuary staff, the\u00a0baby elephant\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/strong>began to recover. But what really seemed to help was his new pal – a dog! Ellie the elephant<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>and Duma the German Shepherd became fast friends and their bond really helped keep Ellie’s spirits up during her difficult recovery period.<\/p>\n

We love unlikely animal friendships here, they’re just so heartwarming, aren’t they? They are about as adorable as adorable gets. And this is no exception… Who’d have thought it? An elephant and a dog?! Check it out:<\/p>\n
