  • It made me cry!

  • wait didnt bella die?

  • I don't believe humans are that smart. In fact, we are pretty down right stupid. Just because animals don't have the capacity to screw you for financial gain doesn't mean that don't have emotions or intelligence. Love comes in many shapes and sizes. Love this video!

  • Comment removed

  • nice video

  • animals are so sophisticated and intelligent... they go through all emotions humans go thourgh

    so sad that they are still being used for human entertainment, food, puppy mills. etc

  • @gordoggydog

    Animals don't have as many emotions as humans do. They're lower life forms and aren't like us at all

  • @Andrewsafb71

    ummm are you actually being serious or pretending to be a moron?

    Please list 3 EMOTIONS that humans experience that animals cant????

    Do you realise that humans are actually animals too? Humans, dogs, cats, elephants all feel the same emotions eg fear, love, pain, loneliness, sadness, happiness.... i can keep on going

    hows your list going??

  • @gordoggydog

    Animals can't experience love for one thing, pain isn't an emotion at all. Animals can't experience empathy, disgust, disappointment, optimism, or remorse. If you're going to try and act smart try using your brain.

  • @Andrewsafb71

    Im referring to emotional pain as opposed to physical pain.

    when i say animals im referring to more complex ones such as mammals...

    its debatable whether animals can experience love or not i certainly think they do.. the elephant and the dog in this although they don't know the definition of love, their bond that they have would classify as love.

    Anger is a primary emotion. envy, disgust etc are js secondary emotions of anger.. animals definitely experience anger!

  • @gordoggydog

    They get aggressive but not angry, anger is a human emotion. After an animal does something aggressive it doesn't stay that way so they aren't in a state of anger. An elephant doesn't get angry at a lion. They're lesser life forms, get over it.

  • @Andrewsafb71 You probably never did a biology course so your ignorance is not your fault. If you did, you would know that humans are animals and that we have the same unique ancester than all the other animals. So your theory about emotions is totally wrong. You look like a smart guy but your ignorance is making you look like an idiot.

    Also.. Pain isnt an emotion? Physical pain isnt an emotion. But what about sadness? Sadness is pain, and sadness is an emotion. This elephant was feeling sad.

  • @MPECREW

    No shit humans are animals, you had to take a biology class to figure that one out? Animals have base emotions but they don't come from complex thought... maybe the smarter mammals do. Sadness can cause pain but sadness isn't pain... is a little girl in pain because she's sad that she can't get another piece of candy? I didn't think so but comparing animals to humans and saying they are exactly the same is something a child would say, they only are to a certain to degree

  • @MPECREW

    LOL "this elephant was feeling sad" You really think the elephant realized the dog was injured? That when it looked at the elephant and saw the medical bandages and such and said "aww you're in pain i am so sad"

  • @MPECREW

    Looked at the dog*****

  • @Andrewsafb71 What about you stop telling people to use their brain and start using yours? Why do you think that the elephant was waiting there for days? Just because he was lost? What did keep him there? Emotions. We are all coming from the same ancester. We are all made the same way. All the animals on earth, including us, are just a bunch of cells communicating with each others. So you tell me sadness isnt pain? What about if you lose someone you love. It's not pain? Some emotions are pain.

  • @MPECREW

    Apparently you had to take a biology class to figure out humans were animals so don't tell me anything about using a brain. The elephant was there because the dog that is usually in it's presence wasn't there. If you feed a dog everyday it's going to expect to be fed every single day and wait on its' food. The elephant had no idea what was going on with the dog so it wasn't in any pain. Animals do not possess the sentience and intelligence that we humans do... maybe you though

  • @Andrewsafb71 Maybe you should take some college biology classes to understand a little more about the natural world. The dog that we feed depend on us to survive. The elephant didn't depend at all on the dog to survive. Why would he waste his time with a dog everydays if he couldnt feel lonely? And you can actually hear and feel his emotion when he see the dog after a few days.

  • @MPECREW

    Many animals especially elephants group with other animals to strengthen their survival chances. If you took a dog out for a walk everyday it would expect to walk everyday too. The elephant was making noises, you can't say those were emotions.

    Next please

  • awww..why cant people be like that

  • IF different species can get along..why can't humans? 

  • I have something in my eye.

  • The dog died! Just heard this on the news! OMG! this is sad!

  • Yes sad indeed, cant believe the dog has passed and now Tara is a lone, and its whats even more sad is i can just imagine Tara waiting near that window to see if bella would return.

  • I'm crying...damn it!

    Bella's dead and Tara carried her body close to her home.

    Now that's love, true love.....

  • This was so precious and heart warming, I love seeing stories like this.

  • Dogs are the freaking best!

  • bella got attacked by coyotes and has passed away....sad day

  • The best way to cheer Tara up is to give her a puppy. The puppy will feel the love right away.

  • and Tara carried her body home and the other Elephants consoled Her, I cried...!

  • Bella died recently! Killed by coyotes!

  • I just watched CBS evening news tonight 11-4-11. The dog Bella was attacked by coyotes and died. Twyla had carried Bella back to compound. The other elephants are trying to give Twyla their food to lift her spirts. I am so sad!

  • @love44tv I meant Tarra not Twyla!

  • 6 people are cat people

  • @whm3 even cat ppl mourn her loss

  • What's our excuse? It's not an excuse, it's a reason: we're the most abhorrent species on the face of the planet.

  • I love elephants!! an puppies

  • Is the dog on now ? :'-/

  • The spinal cord injury....hopefully nothing to do with the elephant. :(

  • Thank you.

  • RIP sweet Bella ♥

  • I got something in my eye...

  • Very sad. If you've heard about dog & elephant who are best friends in TN. The dog, Bella, was killed by a coyote. Tarra, the elephant, carried body her home...

    This was reported on the news tonight....RIP Bella

  • Elephant belly rub, that is just asking for a spinal injury.

  • cooperation works!

  • just like Rob and Big :)

  • Fuck you for making me, a grown man, cry. I will not forgive you.

  • @OwDaditHurts

    Join the club, Bud........50 year young Man here who has an almost twelve-year-YOUNG Shusky (German Shepherd/Siberian Husky) and I just spent the last HALF HOUR crying continually. We ALL gotta' go sometime, but THE WAY BELLA DIED.......I want to FIND those Coyotes and rip 'em LIMB FROM LIMB.

  • I think I'll be road tripping to Tennessee. Absolutely incredible!!...

  • i tear up every time i watch this

  • THIS IS SO CUTE I AM GOING TO CRY

  • i wonder if the spinal injuries were due to the dog being stepped on by the elephant

  • This video touched me. On my penis.

  • The reporters final comment didn't seem to sink in for some, second page of the comments and look at the arguing. Just chill people, take a leaf out of the books of these amazing animals.

  • Cutest thing ever.

  • The reporter said it best... "If they can do it, what's our excuse?"

  • I love the part where people go on about religion and all the other bullcrap. PEOPLE survive without religion, like myself, but that doesn't make us any less human. But besides that fact, who are any of you to say that animals don't have religion or morals, or any of the other human-like traits that many of you seem to think animals don't possess? If you don't think they have morals, go watch the video of the dog pulling the other dog off the road after it was hit by a car. Or just think.

  • Maybe God is trying to show us something...

  • that's amazing! It really touched me

  • So cute :D

  • 6 People have no hearts. 

  • @xosheixo 2 months have gone by since you posted that comment, and still only 6 people have disliked this video. That's saying something/

  • perfect girlfriends

    tarra and bella so cute

  • *Tear* 

  • Comment removed

  • That was beautiful.

  • Love it!

  • i cried...is that normal?

  • @mirrlove : I did too. Wasn't that the sweetest thing?

  • @mirrlove

    YES.....it's NOT normal to cry!!!

  • @BigHrdB

    CORRECTION!!!  It's NOT normal to NOT cry!

  • @mirrlove

    Uh huh. D':

  • omg this is the sweetest story ever

  • why cant humans be like this ???

  • @tallguydre123 Because we are not as smart as an elephant or a dog

  • Reading some of these posts reminds you just how poor parents are doing in raising some of these cuckoos...

  • ***the fate of the world or the future of society. Don't know what happened there.

  • Great story! But as far as why people cannot emulate these animals, there are several reasons. The biggest is that animals do not bear the burden of abstract thought. They do not have beliefs, they don't have morals, they don't have religion, and they don't have to worry about the fate of t or society.

  • @MrCSP24 Many animals who form communities (packs, flocks, colonies, etc.) are concerned about the state of that group. It's important to them for social interaction and survival. Animals certainly have beliefs. Some animals make tools, while others just may use existing things as tools.

    People can't emulate animals because of our flaws, not theirs. We're the most effective disease on the planet.

  • @zenvidar

    the animals don't socially interact at all, they are animals. They don't shoot the breeze and talk, they are animals. They don't have beliefs, they are animals. Animals can not make tools, they are animals.

  • @zenvidar

    I don't get it, what are you going for here?

  • @Andrewsafb71 You're not very smart. If you read what I wrote, you should have understood that it all makes perfect sense, seeing it's true. A large group of animals that needs to be in a large group to survive better is gonna do what is necessary to keep that group working.

  • @zenvidar

    There's no thought process of "we all are going to survive sticking together" It's built in instincts they all just stick around the same food source. You won't see carnivores from other species sticking together

  • @Andrewsafb71 Lions...go pay attention to the world. We're done, bye.

  • @zenvidar

    Lions hang out with lions? Didn't make any point

  • @zenvidar I win

    GG

  • This is a wonderful story- what is wrong with you people who put it down or use profanity? I just don't get that. :-(

  • This is a wonderful story- what is wrong with you people who put it down or use profanity? I just don't get that. :-(

  • I am sure that if the spinal injury was caused by Tarra, it was an accident, or, a momentary lapse in judgement. I agree, though, that Bella should be watchfull if she's going to keep this friendship.

  • thats the craziest thing 

  • @vesty37 thats my same exact question!

  • I love this!

  • terrible point at the end... dogs and elephants don't fight over oil

  • terrible point at the end....ok sure two different people from different countries can get along just like two different spieces but you get many elephants and many dogs....they dont want anypart of each other...they have no reason to be better than one another...in the real world we HAVE to be better than the next country...Also CBS is gay as hell

  • AMAZING-----and great point @ the end of this story

  • Made me cry too but i like when i cry from a good story then a horrible one.I have always believed that all us animals can get on i grew up with many animals like a zoo and they all seemed to get on.

  • This made me cry, what a sweet story!

  • @nemoassar oh man it made me cry too lol

  • This is totally awesome. And I'm a dog lover.

    And I seriously doubt that this would work with a cat. What, the elephant would hold vigil while they show her a frisbee (aka flat cat) from the balcony?

    Kidding 

  • I really love this story.

  • We are all interconnected ~ with one Heart

  • "Take a good look world."

    this is very great.

  • Adorable!

    

  • you and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals...

  • The six people that dislike this are probably serial killers, or one of them is Qaddafi........

  • This very heartwarming those who make jokes don't have friends apparently

  • Let's just enjoy the video for what it was, nature at it's best, can the sick comments

  • How Can 6 People DISLIKE This ?????? This Is So Amazing ! We Should Learn Something From These Animals !

  • 6 people only like cats

  • where in tn is this located? wanna see how close to lewisburg, tn. it is.

  • @jamesgambino You are really pathetic.

  • "TAKE A GOOD LOOK AMERICA. TAKE A GOOD LOOK..."

    that, and the terrible pun at the beginning, almost ruined the video. I'd like to think most viewers aren't so dumb that they can take a cue from the animals' friendship without being preached to.

  • I wish negative comments were automatically deleted.

  • @CostumeGirls That's pretty negative, you whore.

  • @Mmmathers4 I'm glad you wasted your time, commenting.

  • wow...no need to go preachy at the end. relax with the gospel message at the end. It's two animals.

  • 4 people don't have a best friend.. :(

  • They probably had a relationship of some sort in the past.. god put them together again <3

  • Cheered me up...! Thanks for posting!

  • Very heart warming (-:

  • What happens if the elephant steps on one of the dogs.... Oh oh oh oh!!

  • they sleep together?

  • This is so adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • they had this story in j-14

  • Made me cry. I'm a bit sensitive at the moment.

  • How did Bella get a spinal cord injury. Does anyone know?

  • @songwriterdebbieg probably got stepped on :/

  • @afstone1602 thats what i was thinking :(

  • @songwriterdebbieg

    An elephant stepped on her.

  • omgs that was so adorable I almost cried!!!

  • @182jcjc182 Ya it was, let's not forget about the cows and pigs that live in a slaughter house that we eat everyday

  • @MrLemmy2000 your just a regular ray of Florida fucking sunshine arent ya?

  • if that dog had been a donkey it would have been more appropriate in terms of america an their politics but still pretty sweet story.

  • this is hohenwald tn....the #1 producer of elephant manure in the U.S.

  • that is definitely a really touching story!

    and the reporter is right, if animals can do it, why can't we??

  • 4 people dont know what friendship is

  • Having huge temporal lobes, elephants tend not to forget.

  • What a great story. I like the reporter. And it's a good message. If there was more TV like this, maybe I'd have one...a TV I mean..;)

  • This story is adorable but this reporter guy is super annoying. "They come one by one....but they STAY.....two by two!!" "Take a good look......WORLD." What a smug and self-satisfied tool, and his cadence is just so phony sounding.

  • i have some Republican friends too.

  • Although it brings tears to my eyes, I love this video. It's so amazing how intelligent animals truly are and how much they are capable of loving.

    I also like the words basically said at the end... if they can get along, what's our (the world's) excuse? --- very well put. Thanks for sharing this video :)

  • They can do it, what's OUR excuse?

  • This gave me a little tear to my eye, you have to check it out... this is so sweet...

  • Our excuse? Well animals don't have religion. They don't classify each other, they don't judge, they don't assume... they just live on instinct. Humans, well... we think too much about shit and let outside things control our thinking.

  • eh, christian the lion is cooler.

  • this is awesome. but i hate how the news tries to push racial understanding onto this story. 'if they can do it..... so can we' ... ew.

  • @rezmoneynwkubs Uh...you hate it? lmfao....Well that should say something about yourself.

  • @yusefdoodie did i say i hated the video? i said i hated how the shitty news tries to push their faggot liberal racial agenda's on people. now go fuck yourself spook.

  • @rezmoneynwkubs How is it racial if it's saying we can all get along? lmfao. You're twisted bud. And that comment just proved it. Oh, and dont bother replying, i won't read it. lol

  • @rezmoneynwkubs How is it racial if it's saying we can all get along? lmfao. You're twisted bud. And that comment just proved it. Oh, and dont bother replying, i won't read it. lol

  • @yusefdoodie its not that you wont read it, its the fact that you CANT read it. cuz... you're a dumb ape.

  • @rezmoneynwkubs it might be political understanding. one of those dudes is an elephant, man.

  • I cried ;_;

  • BEST BUDS!!!!

  • Aww... My mom told me about this video but I never watched it. Now I'm glad I did.

  • when he says "if they can do it why cant we". is he trying to promote bestiality

  • This is awesome!!!

  • i think steve and jeff had bum sex.

  • that dog is a american eskimo i have 1 there so cute

  • "If they can do it, then why can't we?"

    Ironically, like he stated earlier in the video, most of the dogs tend to stay with the dogs, and the elephants tend to stay with the other elephants.....just like humans

  • <3

    Amazing beyond belief.

  • I hope this brings a smile to your face.

  • To bad people will never be able to be as wise as the "dumb" animals.

  • Dogs, and especially elephants are very smart, and their brains allows for such emotions and understanding- i no this sounds to sciency, but it is still so touching

  • lol i have friends too, so whats so special about that?

  • That is the best thing in the world!!!

  • The tiny canine that's best friends with a 3 ton animal suddenly suffers a "mysterious" spinal cord injury. I bet they won't try hugging ever again!

  • what separates us: silly reasons

  • it's really true, that love is only possible between two SOULS, no matter in which FORM..so if they could do IT, what's our excuse?
