1 . In a heartwarming video that has gone viral, a herd of elephants can be seen reuniting and greeting their caretaker after 14 months at a shelter in Thailand. It’s for some reason that animals are said to be loyal (忠诚的) companions to humans and any animal lover will tell you that there’s something indescribable and unique about them. If anyone needed any more proof of their undying loyalty, this should serve as a good example.

In the video, the man, identified as Derek Thompson, who is the Save the Elephant Foundation co-founder, can be seen standing in a shallow water body as the elephants approach him. The elephants greet and hug Derek with their trunks and he pats them. “Elephants reunite with their caretaker after 14 months,” read the caption. The video has received more than 3.7 million views and more than 1.5 million likes. People have left tons of reactions to the video.

Earlier in June, another video went viral showing an elephant bidding farewell (告别) to his loving mahout (看象人) who lost the battle against cancer. The incident, which happened in Kottayam, saw the elephant named Pallat Brahmadathan paying last respects to his master Omanachettan, who had cared him for nearly a quarter of a century. The emotional moment left the entire gathering teary-eyed.

According to local reports, Omanachettan was known for his love for elephants and had been taking care of them for over six decades. Learning about the condition of Omanachettan, the owner of the elephant had taken the animal to pay last respects to his mahout. The emotional scenes occurred as the animal raised its trunk and bowed near the body of Omanachettan.
