Unlikely Friends

This story of friendship between an elephant and a dog speaks volumes.





I first posted about the elephants at The Elephant Sanctuary in Hoenwald, Tennessee 10/22/07. Thought it was worth a rerun. Here it is:

You Big Fat Elephant
Now I'm no crazed left wing animal activist
But I'm an animal lover for sure.

What really gets my fat blood boiling
Is when a circus elephant has just had enough
And tries to run away or stomps the guts
Right out of his trainer.

He is rewarded for all his hard work and long hours
By being blown away.

We all watch the shaky amateur video over & over on CNN & Fox.
Animal experts are brought in to discuss the animal's behavior.

Come on. It's simple.
Treat a sensitive, deeply loving, intelligent creature
Badly long enough and it will run or stomp your guts out.

Fat girls get called lots of derogatory names.
"You big fat elephant" seems to be a favorite.

Elephants are special.
Call me a "Big Fat Elephant"
Anytime you want.

Be sure to watch some videos
And listen to the "Divas" trumpeting.
If you're having a bad day
Spend some time with these sweet ladies
And you'll soon feel better.

Grab a Kleenex.
This site had me bawling
Like a baby before I was done.
