I listened to it today on my local radio station KPBS. I then went onto the Here and Now web site and watched it. Sweet, sweet, sweet!! I've always known that animals are sentient beings. this story is good proof of that. I've sent the link to the story to all my friends and told them to especially share the story with their children! Thank you. I loved this lovely story.

It is such a welcome reprieve from the daily/hourly dismal news of world crises, economic downturn, corrupt financiers, unemployment, the dreadful wars and how/why the world is disgusted with America (in some cases, rightfully so) - it frankly, made my day. *thank you* While news has become a form of entertainment (Fox carefully crafting news for their right-wing constituent, etc.), I sincerely appreciate news stories showcasing people such as the Elephant Sanctuary Team (and in this case our beloved pachyderm & canine species) who are doing good things, living simply and enjoying unlikely companionship. HUGE Thanks to CBS for covering/featuring this story and kudos to WBUR adding it to their broadcast. I love stories like this!
