In the beautiful video, you’ll meet the most unlikely pair of pals that have formed an amazing bond.
The elephant who is known to her rescuers as ‘baby Ellie’ lives in an orphanage in South Africa.
Unlike most of the animals that are victims of poaching, baby Ellie was actually rejected by his herd.
When Ellie was discovered and rushed in, the vet quickly found he had a serious condition that affected the blood supply in his body and for a while, it looked like he might not make it.
Even though his health was improving, Life was lonely for the baby. That was until Duma, a former sniffer dog stepped in and became his friend.
Watch the amazing friendship between the two and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

He should eventually go to The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, in my opinion.

You must not of read the article or watch the video. This elephant was abandoned and rejected by his wild herd due to health issues. This sanctuary saved him from certain death. Perhaps in your mind they should of left this little baby elephant to die in the wild.
Yes it would be wonderful if we didn’t need zoos and all the animals of the world could stay in the wild and thrive. Sadly, we dont live in a perfect world. It’s not realistic in todays world climate. GOOD zoos and sanctuaries actually help in stopping the extinctions of many species of animals and like this sanctuary work to rehabitate and reintroduce into the wild. Sadly there are good and bad in every zoo, sanctuary etc.
