Sad News, Bella The Dog Died
Remember Tarra the elephant and Bella the dog at the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee? Sadly, it appears, Bella was killed—most likely by coyotes. Staff pretty quickly realized Tarra must have carried Bella back from where she’d been killed because there was no sign of a struggle where Bella was found and there was blood on Tarra’s trunk. An amazing friendship. Don’t you wonder what stories they told each other over the years?
Find out more about Tarra and Bella’s friendship and the important work carried on at the Elephant Sanctuary.
