Thanks to Two Special Wires, the Third Annual Worldwide Moment will happen at 6 PM EST Monday Nov. 14. It is a a moment to honor the animals we have known and loved in the past and to send out positive energies to those alive today the world over. We would like to share the story of Tarra and Bella.

| Tarra and Bella |
Tarra lives at the elephant sanctuary near Nashville TN. Her best friend was Bella, a stray dog who wandered into the 2700 acre haven in 2003 and forged an unusual friendship with Tarra. When Bella incurred a spinal injury a few years ago, Tarra stood vigil for 3 weeks just outside the office where Bella rested and recuperated.
Recently, Bella was attacked and killed by coyotes. From what the sanctuary administrators can gather, Tarra found her body and carried her best friend back to her home. Tarra has been grieving but the other elephants have been sharing their food and attention to help her through this. Tarra and Bella's story teaches us huge lessons about love, friendship, loyalty, loss and grief.. Please take the time to read their story here.

Of COURSE animals have feelings! After all, Humans are just animals, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd not too evolved, in our opinion, heh heh.
We will be observing our Moment as well.
My heart absolutely broke to hear that story. How can anyone doubt we have feelings?

Me and Charlie love the story of Bella and Tarra! It's so lovely and so sad too. We love the reporter's final words! We are glad that the kind people of the sanctuary allowed this friendship to blossom. Poor Tarra. We send her lots of hugs.

Ditto The Lounge. We don't know why humans somehow think they're superior or more evolved, just because they're currently the dominant species. Don't get us started.
ReplyDeleteSuch a heartbreaking story, we're sending purrs to Tarra.
And we're participating this evening too.
That is such a good story about Bella and Tarra but so sad that she was killed. We certainly will think about Bella and Tarra today. Take care.
