From childhood, it is drilled within us that dangerous wild animals comprise tigers and leopards and elephants; however, here are some that break this imagination and create these deep emotional interlinks with men. A similar incident that brought the internet attention recently is video footage of visiting an elephant seeing its caretaker in a hospice with their terminal disease diagnoses.
The touching video captures the impressive creature standing at the door of the hospital room and then lowering itself very gingerly inside. Showing thoughtful insight and magnanimity, the elephant gently lowers itself to the floor, probably because of the low ceiling, and then tenderly extends its trunk into the beeping bedridden elderly patient. The gravity of the moment seems to take another level high as the elephant lovingly tries to wake him up. A woman, perhaps a relation or nurse, uses her guidance to direct his hand towards the trunk of the elephant, in a heart-wrenching scene .
