Curious Case Of The Dog And The Elephant: Adorable Duo Become Firm Friends

It’s straight out of a Disney movie.

This adorable baby elephant has become firm friends with a yapping dog.

The unlikely duo were recently caught on camera playing together at the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand.

At first, pachyderm Yindee wasn’t sure what to make of its new four-legged companion.

But they soon became the best of pals.

The footage, which has gone viral online in recent days, sees the dog barking and running around the much-larger animal.

Yindee then begins jumping up and down with joy, before chasing the pooch and flinging dirt into the sky.

The Elephant Nature Park is located in the northern Chiang Mai province.

It was set up in the 1990s to provide a sanctuary and rescue centre for dozens of distressed elephants who have been saved from all over Thailand.

Yindee, who’s name translates to “Pleasure,” was born on August 24, 2013 - and is now 2-years-old.
