  • "Rubs her tummy with her foot"???? Well no wonder the dog broke his back....the elephant crushed him.

  • Crying! So sweet.

  • For most of the stupid comments made inre this clip, what are you idiots even talking about????? This is a terrific clip, that shows that different species can get along and even thrive, together, and that enjoyment can be attained through love and friendship.

  • Marvelous story. May you attain Nirvana. Rest in peace Bella.

  • Jim Povolo brought me here.

  • I love love love love this video. I have seen it too many times to count and still cry out of the sheer sweetness. The love is overwhelming.

  • What's odd is the title of this video...

  • 100 people have no souls

  • Now this is what friendship is all about!

  • How dare you advertise a gossipvideo about Kutcher and Moore in this clip, CBS?! I demand that you remove the annotation immediatly!

  • Yet people can't get along with other people with just different colors? -_-

  • @planetary109 Well blacks steal!

  • @chadassbadass That is by far one of the dumbest things I've ever heard someone say. There are people who steal in every single race no matter what color they are. Blacks in America have been discriminated against for centuries and they were denied a lot of jobs and now it's even harder to find jobs in this economy. They must steal in order to survive, they were forced to live in poverty and didn't have people to teach them between right and wrong, if white people lived like blacks, we would too

  • @planetary109 lol Ah shutup with your lame white guilt. Blacks think crime is cool and they're dumb.

  • @chadassbadass White guilt? LOL! The only one who should feel guilty here is you except you are too dumb to. They do not think crime is 'cool' and there are white teenagers who steal things for fun you know. And since you're obviously dumb then you must be black, or are you white? Because if your white, then white people are dumb as much as black people.

  • @chadassbadass White guilt is ridiculous, and so is your assertion that "blacks think crime is cool and they're dumb." Unless you've polled every single black person on Earth, that is, and they all happen to agree.

  • @bowstodeer I'm 11. My Dad was posting comments on my account. Srry.

  • @chadassbadass Aw, that stinks, sry.

  • @planetary109 Yeah, that's why most of my coworkers are black and one of my 3 managers is black - because people of one race are all the same and grew up in exactly the same circumstances. And, apparently, because black people were never taught any morals, according to you (because poor people don't have morals, or something).

  • Video has no sound in right channel: thumbs down

  • that there, is friendship :) 

  • it's so sad about bella she remind me of my own heidi how is tara doing?

  • RIP Bella she was attacked by wolfs that's what I heard :(

  • :-( I just heard about Bella. Rest in peace little Bella. I hope Tara will be okay.

  • I'm so upset over the loss of Bella and how she Tarra found her. Baby mine, don't you cry Baby mine, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part, baby of mine Little one when you play Don't you mind what you say Let those eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear, baby of mine If they knew sweet little you They'd end up loving you too. Goodbye.
  • just heard the very sad news about Bella...RIP Bella and Tara i hope you find a new best friend soon.

  • just saw this on the news today...if only the world can live together like Bela and Tara

  • RIP Bella. You areTara's angel!

  • I'm so sad that Bella left this world, poor Tara, I hope she can understand that Bella is not coming back. Biiiiig hugs to you Tara, you're so sweet and so kind. I hope you will get a new doggy friend soon, it would be very hard to match the special friendhip you both had but may be that will mend your heart. . Woooof!!

  • I saw this on tv... and i hav 2 post this everywhere online!

  • The news about Bella made me cry. Such a beautiful story!

  • Such sad news about Bella ... I hope Tarra is doing alright.

  • @aleica, for cryin' out loud, where's your heart? lighten up!

  • Thumbs up if Jim Povolo sent you here.

  • RIP Bella. Tarra, I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

  • Rest In Peace Bella :(

    Read her story at this site, Its in Honor of Bella the canine

    elephants(.)com(/)Bella(/)Bell­a.php

  • 99 people have never really had a REAL bestfriend

  • "That was pretty amazing, Steve."

  • Poor Tarra can you get another puppy to grow up with Tarra, help stop the grieving?

  • MUST WE WATCH AN AD FIRST, YOU COCKSUCKERS?

  • RIP Bella. Stay strong Tarra.

  • @AnnF10 how did Bella pass? :'(

    

  • @xshatteredxfatex Coyotes killed her and they think Tarra stopped them before the coyotes devoured Bella and she carried what was left of her body back to the reserve area. They found the remains next to the barn where they lived with other elephants and there was blood on Tarra's trunk. It's really sad. You know that Tarra is in deep mourning. That was her best friend.

  • This is the cutest story! Made me cry :-(

    Rest in peace bella <3

  • Tarra carried Bella's body back to where they use to play... this is like the end of MY GIRL but animals :(

  • I live near this place, I hope to see it someday if they ever let visitors in.

  • Would be funny if the elephant ends up giving birth to a dog.

  • Such a heart touching story !!  So sad , Rest in Peace Bella

  • RIP Bella. That's so sad:/

  • I have always loved elephants and the news of Bella today brought tears to my eyes. How very sad. Rest In Peace Bella and Tara, your other friends are there for you. Why can't we humans be more like these two long time, unconditional friends?

  • ;-( RIP Bella

  • rip poor Bella.

  • RIP Bella. What a heartwarming story this friendship has been.

  • RIP pretty Bella <3

  • Could be a ressurection of former lovers

  • Rest in peace Bella <3

  • Being honest i didnt even like animals and here i am....... I Can't believe i have tears rolling down my face.. they r def better den us humans!!!...R.I.P Bella..

  • R.I.P Bella <3

  • Dam that's a sad story.

  • I had tears and Im a guy :(

  • i like animals better than humans :(

  • Poor bella :( RIP

  • What a great story. I really, really hope Tarra will find a another friend and not be lonely.

    This sanctuary and one in California were willing to take the lovely elephants from The Toronto Zoo. The zoo's board voted down the option, fearing the girls would be mistreated. Unbelievable. ..I think they feared their wallets would be mistreated.

  • They won't even tell us where Toka, Iringa and Thika are going, and there was a strong push from the public to place these old girls at one of the sanctuaries where they have room to roam and it's WARM.

  • R.I.P. Bella

    

  • Sad to say Bella was killed by a pack of coyotes. Tara went to find Bella, but arrived too late. When Tara's trunk was found bloody, it was realized Tara fought off the coyotes and carried Bella back to their favorite hang out spot. Tara is devastated. :'(

  • @bigs2452 ugh Im devastated. The great ones always go so early :(

  • RIP Bella. We all could use a friend like you.

  • RIP in peace Bella..........

  • RIP Bella. :-(

  • I just got the email about Bella.  I am so sad, and I bet Tara is devastated. Their love was so pure. RIP Bella

  • Bella died today. Tara is heartbroken. What a love story. We can all learn so much from animals.

  • RIP Bella :( <3

    

  • Rest In Peace Bella :(

  • @cardinalfan524 you make me sick.

  • <3

  • Really, what is humanity's excuse?

  • I love Steve Hartmans segments!  So amazing :)

  • I don't know bout you guys but if I woke up as a grizzly bear one day I'de be haapy as hell.

  • my son just sent me this. i guess he thought it appropriate, since my name is tara and i have a small white dog named (you guessed it) bella!

  • you are amazing people for doing what you do, i just heard about Tara and bella today and im in love with the story and their interactions

  • it's gonna terrible when the dog dies!

  • Super cool, but does anyone else wonder if Bella's spinal injury was a result of an accidental stepping on by Tara?

  • @bm2k18 I think it would've done more damage than just that, though.

  • @bm2k18 I'm sure Bella is in dog heaven, which they say doubles as mailman hell, but she was clearly out of her goddamn mind.

  • @bm2k18 I think Bella would have been a bit more nervous when Tara was putting her foot over her. I sat on my dog once. I swear every time I sit down next to her now, she jumps out of the way and gives me a weary look. I tell her "It was ONE time!" But she doesn't believe me.

  • @yoljarvi I want to "like" this a million more times because you are exactly right.

  • I luv this! They r so cute

  • People suck. 

  • One of the most brilliant stories, ever!!

  • no volume only on this video?!!? :(

  • Aw I wanna go to Tennessee and visit. They are so sweet! I almost cried when they were touching paw/foot

  • elephants are one of the smartest animals on this planet

  • Beautiful story. Ck out cat and crow are friends video too. Much to learn from animals.

  • elephants are my favorite animals and i ounce had a baby elephant and it wouldnt leave my side he even saved my life until i had to move awawy i lost a part of me that day and will never forget his name:Bengal i now take every stray i find from injured falcons to baby birds and release them

  • This is just so beautiful. Thank you for rescuing these animals and giving them the live and love they deserve...ck out crow and kitten are friends video too. ♥ ANIMALS.

  • It's big waste of tax payer's money!!! American are the ones need help and job opportunity. Rick Perry rules!!! God Bless America!

  • @aleica Tax payers don't pay for this! they paid for this all by themselves and it is funded by donations. Get a clue.

  • HAIKU

    No! Please! Dont eat me!

    Or—wear my shell as jewelry!

    Please let me swim free.

  • You know that elephants live a lot longer than dogs.

    I don't wanna think what will happen when... :/

  • So perfect!

  • a dog friends with an elephent? thats halarrious.

  • Soo touching!

  • "That was pretty amazing, Steve."

  • Beautiful.

  • I just cried like a baby.

  • I honestly feel sorry for who disliked this video. He/She is just making themself miserable and unhappy in life.

  • Take a good look America.. Take a good look..

  • That is a Darwin's expectation for globalization.

  • Comment removed

  • An Elefant and a dog can be best friends why can't we??

  • 93 people wish they had a friend like Bella and Tara.

  • somehow i think we're the animals and they are the ones who are acting human :(

  • @Ilanactingreel Nope

  • @OneAndForAll

    :|

    You wanna fight about it :|

  • @Ilanactingreel humans are animals

  • maybe the dog got injured from accidentally being stepped on by an elephant?

  • On a related story: 36 year old man bawls like a baby for hours over emotional elephant-and-dog story on YouTube.

  • obese elephant that is

  • how can anyone not like this story?

  • 1:10

    tara and belle have been close for years, but no one really knew how close they were until recently....

    (who thought they were going to say the elaphent was pregent? anyone!? comeon!)

  • So freaking adorable!

  • The dog is biding its time until the elephant dies so it can feast on its entrails. And vice versa.

  • 93 people have no soul

  • @Jean831112 you are right they have no heart

  • See, we can make up our differences.

  • That dog still alive? It's only a matter of time.

  • @BrainDeadCaveman dog is still alive! it's on their website! 

  • spinal chord injury? what did tara step on her or something?

  • @adventuretime77 They don't know how Bella got hurt. She was found by the lake hurt. If Tarra had stepped on her she wouldn't be alive. Some think she was jumping a creek and landed wrong.

  • @bookishfilly haha obviously dude i was KIDDING

  • If they can do it...

    What's our excuse?

  • This is so sweet! I just hope none of the dogs accidentally get injured by the elephants. I would be so nervous about that.

  • who disliked this???

  • This story was so sweet,Don't know how some people mistreat animals,look at all the love between thes two animals.

  • FRIENDS!!!

  • And some people say animals have no feelings. Those people need to watch this video and learn a thing or two.

  • I love when you can hear Tara bark at 1:56. I'd heard that Elephants could mimick (had the vocal cord ability)but didn't have the brain connection to do so...but didn't quite believe they couldn't...that elephant, Tara, most definitely barks!!

  • So if a dog and elephant can love each other what is OUR reason for being racist? Some hate each other JUST because their color is darker, or they have a different nose, ect. Look at the elephant! The dog is cream, the elephant is grey. The dog is small, elephant is big. The elephant has a trunk, the dog has a nose. Yet they don't care, so why should we? We are the so great "humans" and we should have more common sense than animals, if these different species can love, why can't different races?

  • 93 people don't have a "trunk"

  • :')

  • its lovey to see a bond like that between animals, but for feck sake - "Take a good look, America. Take a good look, world." You cant get more cheesy than that

  • @randmnumber I'm not a fan of cliches, or tacky talk, but in this case, the reporter was Correct in saying "take a good look..." this story makes people look like the maggots that we are (no offense to maggots)---the only thing that's 'cheesy' is that your comment only focused on that and not the beauty of animals and their capacity for love...

  • @EmmaRose473 No, this story doesnt make people look like maggots. I don't know what kind of people you hang around with, but the majority of people I know are good people who have just as much capacity to love as any animal. Yes there are assholes out there and a lot of prejudice in the world, but dont for a second think that this example of 2 animals getting along somehow makes us "maggots". What a horrible view of humanity you have! :(

  • @randmnumber Obviously you're too naive or just ignorant to know that while there are a few good people in the world--mankind is the 'sickest' of animals....maybe you just need to watch the news more often and/or read your history 101 books...then you may hold the same view as I do now. Once, I too believed in the 'goodness of people in general'...sorry, but now, I know too much about human behavior throughout history to know what I'm talking about...as far as you--ignorance is 'bliss'

  • @EmmaRose473 you say this story makes us look like the "maggots we are", when really this story does nothing of the sort. Your have just projected your own prejudices. Some animals have a great capacity for love, humans included. All living things can and do destroy each other and commit what we would describe as despicibale acts. We are the only animal that has evolved to gain the capacity to move past this barbaric way of life but we're not quite there yet. Self loathing wont help anything

  • @randmnumber I cannot win an argument with an ignorant person. Nothing else needs to be said...

  • What's the "back" story? Pardon the pun.. But I wonder if they got in a lovers tiff and the elephant broke that dogs back one day when no one was looking? That elephant was like " what- you bit me? Hell naw, my daddy don't bite me sucka, I'll cold elephant trunk smack yo ass".

  • Humans always find some place to fight, even in the comment section of this video, sad.

  • Call me morbid, but all I could think about is how dogs live around 12 years and elephants live around 80 years. :(

  • lol, wow my eyes got watery. What an adorable story.

  • A dog suffers a "spinal cord injury" at an elephant sanctuary but no one says how. I'm pretty sure they're trying to cover up that an elephant stepped on the dog. That wouldn't make this story as popular.

  • @offdisplay LOL It would still be touching in a way. The elephant looked very remorsefulness!

    Elephant: "I'm so sowwy! But you asked me to rub your tummy!?!"

    Dog: "That's right, I said *rub* NOT *flatten*!!!"

    Elephant: "I'm SOWWY!!! I didn't know you were so fragile! Please give me another chance!??"

    Dog: "Oh alright! I'll give you another shot once I get out of this body cast."

  • This is so adorable I could die, and that guys right, if animals that different can be friends, what's our exsuse?

  • ive heard of this! i read a book on it then i whe to the website then wached this!

  • @zephranna01

    you suck you bitch i hope all that happens to you

  • WHO ELSE GOT FURIOUS (and hungry)BECAUSE OF THE ADD??????

  • What an interesting story. Love the commentary too!  I would love to go visit this sanctuary. So enchanting that two unlikely creatures could love one another so much! Thanks, CBS!

  • Hi, this is Edna with The Nutro Company. This friendship between Bella and Tara is so sweet and touching.

    Thanks for sharing! :-D

  • How can anyone not be touched by this story! It shows that love knows no bounds.

  • Anyone who says something stupid or inane about this relationship is truly disconnected from what life is really about. When you are old and someone from your non caring family stuffs you in an elderly care center never to be visited again then it will dawn on you what this video means.
