The picture that accompanies this story is just heart-breaking.

I have saved it on my and my computer so I and I can look at it in the future if I and I ever feel sorry-sorry for me and me.

Hoo-raw for the happy ending !

At the bottom of the story is this very interesting aside :

"While the baby elephant was struggling in Thailand, Gay, a 40-year-old Asian elephant in Britain, was fitted with a pair of £500 slippers.

Gay has been suffering from painful abscesses on her front feet for the past few months so her keepers at Paignton Zoo in Devon decided to commission the footwear."

I guess one of its relatives came from CM so it is the right forum. Good ending. DId you get the news by trunk call?
