After an elephant and a black lab crossed paths in South Carolina, the most unlikely friendship was formed. When Bella, a timid and abandoned puppy, was brought in by Myrtle Beach Safari, it was a match made in heaven.
In 1983, after ivory poachers ᴋɪʟʟed elephant Bubbles’ parents, they were sent to a safari. After being saved, she immediately recovered her health and happiness and enjoyed her new life with caring volunteers.
After 25 years, Bella was adopted by Myrtle Beach Safari, and she and Bubbles bonded immediately. A contractor was recruited in 2007 to construct Bubbles’ swimming pool. These two had the chance to connect in a way that led to the formation of a ᴄʟᴏsᴇ friendship at the pool and eventually the river. On the 50-acre preserve, the two best friends enjoy spending hours running around together.
These two species have a unique tender bond despite their disparate sizes. The affection Bella and Bubbles have for one another is touching. We wish them many happy and long years together. Fortunately, they’ve found one another! What other endearing stories of animal companionship have you ever heard of?
