Tarra & Bella: The Elephant and Dog Who Became Best Friends
by Carol Buckley (Author, Photographer)

A Friendship Unlike Any Other!

At the relatively young age of twenty -one, Tarra retired from performing to become the founding resident of the first elephant sanctuary Carol built. When other elephants moved in and developed close friendships, only Tarra failed to find a special friend — until the day she met a stray mixed-breed dog named Bella. From then on, the two were inseparable.

Color photographs of Tarra and Bella deftly illustrate this inspiring story of inter-species companionship, showing us that to an elephant, species does not matter.

The book includes a special “Dear Reader” letter with an update on Tarra’s amazing life at Elephant Refuge North America, where she has developed deep bonds with elephants Mundi and Bo and formed loving relationships with her canine friends Mala and Samie.
