Elephant and Dog Best Friends - Terra and Bella - Dateline News

This is one of the sweetest things I've seen in a very long time. Dateline had planned to air this clip on 3/13/11 but was never shown because of the earthquake/disaster in Japan. After I watched this I felt like a wave a negativity had been lifted off of me, it I felt like I could breathe again...there is so much negativity and chaos going on in this world right now it's really almost to much to take in. This was a nice break and INCREDIBLE reminder of what is really important and how powerful LOVE really is!
For more info about The Elephant Sanctuary and the elephants visit http://www.elephants.com. They are in need of donations and they have really neat programs set up as incentive to donate...you can do everything from adopt an elephant or simply feed an elephant. I highly recommend visiting their site and think about supporting them! It's for an incredible cause and these gentle giants can't be cheap to take care of.
Thank you Dateline for sharing this story with us!

Tara lost Bellaby BelaArt8,376 views
Steve's theory is Tarra carried Bella possibly a mile or more to bring her home.
Whether it really happened that way or not, no one doubts Tarra was that devoted.
"There's nothing we can do to take away her pain," said Atkinson. "The only ones who can help now are the elephants. And that is already happening."
Atkinson said the elephants are "stepping in and stepping up." He said they're spending more time with Tarra and being extra nice - making gestures like giving her a portion of their food.

Last week, sanctuary workers found Bella's body. By all indications she'd been attacked by coyotes. Whether Tarra witnessed it, tried to intervene or was too late - no one knows. All they do know is that where they found Bella is not where she was attacked.
"When I looked around and saw there was no signs of an attack here. No blood, no tuffs of hair, nothing," said director of elephant husbandry, Steve Smith. "And Tarra, on the underside of her trunk, had blood - as if she picked up the body.

I found the update on the CBS page:

Tarra moved her?
"Tarra moved her," Smith said.
