A rescued baby elephant, named Ellie, beats the odds with the help of his German Shepherd companion.

Enjoy!

Critically ill, the youngster had very little chance of survival. But thanks to round-the-clock care from sanctuary staff, and a bit of help from a special canine companion, the baby elephant is on the road to a full recovery.

One week later, Jacob Zuma, President of South Africa reported the following: “After digging as deep as 500 meters, South African scientists have found absolutely nothing. They concluded that 5000 years ago… their ancestors were already using wireless technology.”
