When most of us think about elephants, we likely envision them as a heard, walking around in the wild with other elephants. It is often a rather peaceful scene in our mind but, it is unfortunate that reality is often quite different from these gentle giants. As a matter of fact, many of them must fight for their life on a regular basis because of poachers and because of mankind’s encroachment into their natural habitat.
That leads us to introduce you to Bubbles, who was orphaned when her family was killed by ivory poachers. She was able to survive the slaughter that took place that day, and eventually found her way to a wildlife preserve. A contractor was hired to build a pool on the preserve and he abandoned his dog, Bella. As it turns out, the two animals had a love in common, that of water.
As Bubbles continue to grow to a full-grown elephant, her love of Bella continue to grow as well. In fact, the two of them became inseparable and it seemed as if they would play with each other at every opportunity. It was a beautiful relationship, one that most of us would not even consider possible.
