Orphaned Baby Elephant Forges Unlikely Friendship That Will Melt Your Heart

Patched up, so what now?

When Ellie was rescued, the idea was to get him “back on her feet” so he could be reintroduced to another herd of elephants. When the extent of his injuries became clear however, no further thought was given to reintroduce him to the wilderness. All efforts were spent into making her healthy again.

Ellie’s health however, improved dramatically. His bond with his canine friend Duma remained strong and strengthened every day. Everyone at the orphanage was happy and the sight of Duma and Ellie taking a walk or playing with dirt raised everyone’s spirits.
