Misconceptions abound about the relationship between elephants and dogs, including the notion that elephants are afraid of dogs.
Based in Thailand, Elephant Nature Park is a sanctuary for both animals. Toward the end of 2011, Bangkok experienced catastrophic floods. ENP volunteers used rented boats to rescue desperate, stranded dogs. Over 2,000 dogs were pulled to safety, 155 of which were brought to Elephant Nature Park.
At the sanctuary, the dogs and elephants interact freely and have formed unlikely bonds. While the two would probably never cross paths or become friends in the wild, they certainly enjoy one another’s presence at the park. As you can tell by this video, it turns out that man’s best friend and nature’s gentle giant get along famously!
What’s New…
Just beautiful and deeply touching.
This is wonderful to watch.
AS i have said many times to friends and family, I would trust a ANIMAL WITH MY LIFE MORE THEN A HUMAN ANY TIME.
cette vidéo est vraiment trop belle c est un vrai plaisir de voire ces élèphants vivre avec ces chiens tout se passe très bien c est que du bonheur je suis régaler en la regardant franchement c est merveilleux bravo félicitations et respect a vous tous
Thank you Thailand for that wonderful and touching video. It is so nice to see these animals living together in harmony. Many, many thanks to those in the Elephant Nature Park for helping to keep these animals happy and safe.
I cry with joy at the sight of such love and beauty and peace.
Why aren’t we that way? Aren’t we suppose to be superior?
So nice to see a successful Elephant sanctuary in Thailand. They look happy and healthy – I would love to see all elephants in Thailand released and allowed “retire” to such a lovely sanctuary! Please do not participate in tourism that exploits elephants by making the give “rides!” Elephants do not give rides because they like to; they do it because they know they will be beaten and abused if they don’t!
Great positive video for a change. It cracks me up, the dogs are well aware of their surroundings and alert to make sure they don’t get accidentally stepped on by the elephants, LOL!
What a beautiful scene, with everyone co-existing in peace. And the music was perfect.
Now that looks like a legit sanctuary with the river and grass!! I’m sure the dogs and elephants are stoked to live there!!
I’m so happy to watch this video over and over again. Just a nice change from the torture most petitions I see or can’t watch.
So nice ! Wonderful ! A good ideal to bond the elephants and dogs together to make friends.
Elephant Nature Park is AMAZING. I volunteered there for a week a few years ago. The dogs are as adorable as the elephants are. ♥
Looks like a beautiful place for these animals to be.Glad to see some peaceful and happy elephants and dogs.
ANIMALS HEARTS ARE SO MUCH BIGGER THAN HUMAN’S
Oohhh
What beautiful and peaceful video. I loved watching the interaction between these animals that would never meet on the wild. ???????
