A
When elephants retire, many head for the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Term.They arrive one by one, but they tend to live out their lives two-by-two. "Every elephant that comes here sear-ches out someone that she then spends most all of her time with," says sanctuary co-founder Carol Buckley.It's likely having a best girlfriend, Buckley says- "Somebody they can relate to, they have something in common with."
Debbie has Ronnie.Misty can't live without Dulary.Those are pachyderm-pachyderm pairs.But perhaps the closest friends of all are Tarra and Bella.Tarra, an 8,700 pound Asian elephant; Bella,a stray dog, are closest friends.
Bella is one of more than a dozen stray dogs that have found a home at the sanctuary.Most want nothing to do with the elephants and vice versa.But not this odd couple."Bella knows she's not an elephant.Tarra knows she's not a dog," Buckley adds."But that's not a problem for them." "When it's time to eat they both eat together.They drink together.They sleep together.They play together,"
Buckley says.
Tarra and bella have been close for years--but no one really knew how close they were until re-cently.A few months ago Bella suffered a spinal cord injury.She couldn't move her legs, couldn't e-ven wag her tail.For three weeks the dog lay motionless up in the sanctuary office.And for threeweeks the elephant held vigil: 2,700 acres to roam free, and Tarra just stood in the corner, besidea gate, right outside that sanctuary office."She just stood outside the balcony-just stood there and waited," says Buckley."She was concerned about her friend." Then one day, sanctuary co-founder Scott Blais carried Bella onto the balcony so she and Tarra could at least see each other.
"Bella's tail started wagging.And we had no choice but bring Bella down to see Tarra," Blais says.
They visited like that every day until Tarra could walk.Today, their love--and trust--is stron-ger than ever.Bella even lets Tarra pet her tummy-with the bottom of her enormous foot.They harbor no fears, no secrets, no prejudices.Just two living creatures who somehow managed to look past their immense differences.
Take a good look at this couple, human beings.Take a good look at the world.If they can do it--what's our excuse?
The underlined part "Those are pachyderm-pachyderm pairs."in Para.2 means A.both of the pairs are elephants
B.both of the pairs look strange
C.animals there have different kinds of friends
D.they are friends of the same kind
