In the video below, a situation is staged where a volunteer throws the caretaker to the ground in a seemingly violent act. The elephant doesn’t hesitate to come running, first toward the attacker to scare him away, and then over to her human to make sure he’s OK.
“This 17 year old elephant, Thongsri, comes to the aid of her caretaker” in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Much like with dogs, elephants and loyal creatures with unconditional love who have the backs of those who care for them.
