Elephant mourns loss of canine companion
HOHENWALD, Tenn. - For the past eight years, Tarra the elephant and Bella the dog were inseparable at the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, about 80 miles southwest of Nashville.
Robert Atkinson is the CEO of the Elephant Sanctuary, the nation's larges natural-habitat refuge developed specifically to meet the needs of the endangered animals.
He told Nashville's News 2 the duo was always together.
"I suspect that small vulnerable little animal brought out a maternal instinct in her, and hence there was a match made in heaven," he said.
The canine came to live at the 2,700-acre sanctuary in 2003 and quickly formed a bond with the elephant, which remained until Bella's recent death.
Atkinson said he believes Bella was attacked and killed by coyotes and Tarra found the dog's body before the caretakers and carried her with her trunk to the barn where the two spent most of their time.
"The idea that she couldn't leave that body and brought it back home is just heartbreaking, but so inspiring," he said.
To help with the grieving process, Tarra has reached out to other elephants which have been providing comfort and support.
"Elephants need each other. That's what's happening now. That in her time of grief, she's turning to her sisters for support, and that's what elephants are good at, being a herd and being there for each other," Atkinson explained.
Caretakers told Nashville's News 2 since Bella's death, Tarra has been quieter than usual as she mourns the loss of her friend.
"We know that she's gone back and has been seen near Bella's grave, which is remarkable," Atkinson said.
The Elephant Sanctuary has set up a tribute page on its Web site to memorialize Bella with links to Tarra and Bella's amazing story and recent photos of the two.
A memorial fund will also be established in Bella's honor

Dog saves owner from Cobb fire, dog dies
COBB COUNTY, GA (CBS ATLANTA) - A Cobb County man is crediting his dog for saving his life from an overnight house fire that the dog did not survive.
Scott Dunn told CBS Atlanta News that he and his dog Duncan had fallen asleep on the couch in the living room at his home on Joel Drive near Marietta.
"And the next thing I know he was pawing at me, barking and scratching, and I woke up and I couldn't see anything," Dunn said as he fought back tears.
Thick smoke had blanketed the room. Scott, who remodels homes for a living, could hardly breathe.
"So I grabbed keys to back my truck out because that's my livelihood," he said.
He grabbed Duncan by the collar and made it out of the house. That's when he realized he had the collar, but no Duncan.
"His collar came off," said Dunn. "He wouldn't come. I think he was just as scared as I was."
Firefighters later found Duncan's body curled up on Scott's bed.
"That's my boy. He saved my life," Dunn said tearfully. "He saved my life, but I couldn't return the favor. It was too hot in there. I couldn't get back in there."
Dunn's neighbor was able to move his truck from underneath the carport as Dunn called for Duncan. The truck and the clothes on Dunn's back are the only possessions he has, he said.
Dunn's home is a total loss, said Cobb County Fire Department Lt. MikeBell. Investigators are trying to figure out what started the fire.

Curled up on the bed.
I know I literally cried twice while reading thru my newsfeed
here, I will take away the sadness and replace it with ugliness.
Have you guys ever seen a bear without fur?
DO NOT WANT
I read female bears at some German zoo were losing their fur and this is what they ended up looking like.
Im too lazy to search for the story
It definitely makes bears less appealing to me
So did anyone get the memo that Octopus can walk on dry ground now?
We're all fucked.
ugh its like a horror movie.
It looks like a huge brain coming at you
Remember that film, The Blob?
omg thats perfect
Bear without fur = chupacabra??
I don't get the weird mono boob none mono boob thing going on.
I'm guessing she pays somebody to wax her. No way she is shaving her own legs/trimming her foofoo past those babies.
