Who would have thought a dog and an elephant could be best friends?

Some time ago the news about a somewhat unusual friendship circulated on the internet. It's the story of Bella and Bubbles, a Labrador female and an African alias, respectively. According to the Mother Nature Network website, the pair "met" in a reserve called Myrtle Beach Safari in South Carolina, and since then the animals have become inseparable. Check out the following video

According to the information accompanying the clip, Bubbles, the aliyah, is 32 years old and was taken to the sanctuary in 1983 after hunters left her orphaned. Already the lab, Bella, was abandoned by the owner in 2007, when she was a puppy, and the two became best friends thanks to the love they share for the water.

Bubbles and Bella can be seen strolling together through the reserve, as well as playing and swimming in each other's company. And the Labrador Lab, as you have seen, is not shy about the size - or over 4, 000 pounds - of the friend! By the way, enjoy to see below more images of this lovely duo:
