An African elephant named Bubbles and a black lab named Bella have become an internet sensation due to their unique friendship. Bubbles was rescued in Africa from poachers that had killed both her parents for their ivory tusks. But it didn’t end there. If no one adopted Bubbles, she would eventually be released or killed due to facilities being unable to house and support them. She was fortunate enough to be saved by the Myrtle Beach Safari in South Carolina, and this is where the friendship begins. A contractor who was building a pool for Bubbles left Bella behind at the safari.
Bubbles arrived at the park weighing in over 300 lbs. and now she is a wonderful 9,000 lbs. She loves to swim with her best friend Bella, and play fetch. Bubbles has been around other animals but none of them compare to Bella.
Here’s a short video of their thrilling friendship!
