Black Lab's best friend weighs about 9,000 pounds

Bubbles the elephant loves the water, so a contractor came to build her a pool. When the job was done, the contractor left behind the pool and a black Labrador puppy. more

Bubbles lives at Myrtle Beach Safari, a nature park in South Carolina. She was rescued as an orphan, a 300-pound calf whose parents had been killed by poachers for their ivory. Today she weighs about 9,000 pounds.

The puppy was named Bella, and she soon found the water too. She started in the new pool and moved up to the river nearby. Before long the dog and the elephant were fast friends, and the water was the reason.

Bella is a Lab with energy to burn, and she loves to fetch her tennis ball out of the water. An elephant makes a fine diving board.

Bubbles does her part. She throws water around with her trunk, a diving board that splashes back.

Bubbles splashes with her trunk, her half of the water games the two share.

Elephants live in herds, and Bubbles has a small one of her own now. Back on dry land the two cuddle up, and Bubbles reaches over with her trunk to pet the puppy who came with the pool.
