Baby elephant rushes to save ‘drowning human best friend’ who rescued her

Posted 4:53 pm, October 17, 2016, by Nadia Judith Enchassi, Tribune Media Wire and CNN Wire

We can all agree it’s basically a dream situation to be rescued by a baby elephant, especially if you didn’t really need rescuing in the first place.

Instead, you just end up being assured a baby elephant loves you and wants you to be okay.

The Save Elephant Foundation in Chiang Mai, Thailand captured little Kham Lha racing to the aid of Darrick Thomson, the co-founder of the foundation and one of her favorite people ever.

Thomson was calling out to her on the shore, and she interpreted his calls as distress cries (he was totally fine, though).

Kham Lha charged through the water, sheltering him with her body and offering her trunk for him to hold on to.

Crisis averted.

Hey, you should ask if you yourself can start a cuteness thread.
