In this latest installment of CBS News Assignment America, Steve Hartman visits an animal sanctuary where a dog and an elephant have formed a very lasting, and unusual, friendship.
This will always be relevant. That's the 1 of the beauties in life. To me. Seeing how such a big animal can have those feelings. Elephants are the greatest smartest animals on the planet. And that intelligence enables them to do amazing things. That story makes me cry every time I watch. But that's the most beautiful thing there is. Unconditional love
@@Serai3 i feel like a sanctuary is more like a mansion than a prison in the sense that it's massive, they can do whatever they want to, and they get fed very well.
I remember hearing about this story before, and it made me cry. It still makes me cry every time I watch it. What a friendship. God Bless Bella and Tara!
@@rockysmith2613 yeah... attacked by coyotes. the tarra found her first dead and took the her body home 😕. cause she didn't want to leave her in the wilderness.
As a foundation that fosters positive relationships between humans and animals, were also thrilled to see an unusual and enduring relationship between non-human species. The power of friendship and unconditional love can never be underestimated. The Adore Animals Foundation rates this video adorable!
Brings a tear to the eye. Lovely how animals can interact. That shows real empathy, what friendship should be. Feeling each other. Remember anyone whose ever bullied anyone, or harmed anyone, does not really know what empathy means. These two get it. Lovely how the dog, would let the elephants big foot get so close to its tummy.
Such an amazing heartwarming video of true friendship no matter how different they were and now together for eternity. Rest in Peace sweet girls Bella and Tarra you've left quite an impression on the world of how to treat one another we thank you for that, lots of love and big hugs 💞
Amazing and very moving. I love all kinds animals. This is the way I'm friends with my dogs but an elephant and a dog?...Just very motivating to love them even more.
oh my goodness I Love animals and their truly unconditional Love. This is an awesome inspiring story that made me tear up for joy that there is such Love in this world! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
That is so beautiful.....Bella & Tara !!! What a lovely sight to see, in this crazy world we're living with right now.......! Absolutely a perfect example of true friendship ! Many thanks !
This is such a beautiful story. Through her love, support and compassion, Tarra helped Bella to heal and walk again. God bless these 2 beautiful animals. ❤❤
That is so simply awesome, and beautiful! Love is felt and expressed by all creatures. Thanks for sharing and uploading this video, may it teach many people to realize hatred, prejudice is not the answer.
I love that there is an elephant sanctuary in my home state! This is the sweetest story ever! This reminds me of a time when I saw many crows watching in horror as another crow got hit by a car. They stayed with the body, a pack of angry and sad crows. It was so tense and incredible to see.
Thanks for sharing that lil video.That whole places rocks. Two buddys for life...people SHOULD take a listen an look at that. Amazing...very, very cool. T.
I've watched this over and over, from the original broadcast, on the CBS site and now here. Amazing. I love the fact that the owners of the sanctuary told Disney to "shove off".
The Elephant Bella rubs the belly of the Dog Tara with the foot. And to think it was(and is still) chic in some circles to own/possess a lampstand made from an Elephant foot. I am less sad to have these beautiful, magnificent images of Bella and Tara for the rest of my life. Grateful to this sanctuary and CBS.
I love it when the dog is on her back letting her elephant friend stroke her belly.... that is so beautiful and a true testament to love and trust..... animals are FAR superior to human beings !!!!!!!!!
I know this isn't the mother cat and the baby squirrel, but I've seen this story before & it's touching. It shows me how important caring friends & contact can be. Never underestimate the power of a caring touch. It can heal the worst wounds and give people & animals a reason to live.
@SGTBizarro I agree! I cannot believe that anybody would dislike this beautiful story. Miserable people, they are! This is such a heartwarming story. I loved it too.
This video is 10 years old but I’m giving it a like so it can still be relevant

RIP Bella. What a heartwarming story this friendship has been.
it was so sweet how Taura just stands outside waiting for Bella to get better. That's true friendship right there.
that cry of joy when Tara sees bella is so heartwarming
"Take a good look America......if they can do it, what's our excuse?"
Damn Straight.
Um... most of us aren't in prison?
simple, humans are overrated, simple.
Because I am a cat person
@@Serai3 i feel like a sanctuary is more like a mansion than a prison in the sense that it's massive, they can do whatever they want to, and they get fed very well.
@@Serai3 As long as they're safe, happy, and healthy that's what should matter most. ❤
I remember hearing about this story before, and it made me cry. It still makes me cry every time I watch it. What a friendship. God Bless Bella and Tara!
🥹such an incredibly beautiful friendship. The depth of love & trust they have is more than many humans have in a lifetime.
🐘❤🐕
God! I'm in freaking tears right now! If only humans can be more like them. This is such a beautiful story.
This is the cutest story! Made me cry :-(
Rest in peace bella
wait bella died
@@rockysmith2613 yeah... attacked by coyotes. the tarra found her first dead and took the her body home 😕. cause she didn't want to leave her in the wilderness.
my teacher is uses this to have me and my other class mates write a short summary asking the question "What does this story teach us about friendship"
Same I went to harris
A good question at a time when people in most schools cannot see past certain things in each other
✨Same✨ we love online school
funny thing is, is that is literally what i have to work on right now and i have no idea how to answer
You could’ve gave us what you put for your summary 🙄😂😂

This warmed my heart, ahhhhhh, and made me shed a tear.
2 of the most amazing animals on earth together. There is so little we know about them
I always love watching animals of different species interact this way. I just wish the human species could get along with diverse cultures.

This really was such a sweet story, and just as inspiring is seeing people like you who appreciate stories like these 👍
Fabulous story. More people should be more concerned about elphants becoming extinct mostly due to poaching Stop buying ivory.
A good reason to intervene, but no, the government spends its time playing Captain America
"that was pretty amazing, steve" lol
I know many have seen this video before, however I find if you watch it in the morning it puts you in a good mood for the rest of the day.
That is so beautiful.....Bella & Tara !!!
What a lovely sight to see, in this crazy world we're living with right now.......!
Absolutely a perfect example of true friendship !
Many thanks !
TH-cam has the BEST animal stories of any other web site, including those so-called devoted to animals.
And?
TH-cam isn't a website. It's a platform. And it's not a competition. Why the need to compare?
Sheesh.
The sad moment you find out Bella was killed by coyotes...
How did they end up there
yeah i just reasearched that dang man anyways what happened to the elephant? Ik its been like 7 years but.
Charming report on Love and Trust between species. It will be a great day when every more people becomes so kind.
This brings tears to my eyes, for it is so moving. We need to learn from these two.
"Take a good look WORLD..." This is why God made animals first. They get it!!! Bravo!!!!
mmkay
As a pet owner, I cannot confirm

One of the best stories I have ever heard! Simple as that!
This is such a beautiful story. Through her love, support and compassion, Tarra helped Bella to heal and walk again. God bless these 2 beautiful animals. ❤❤
