🌱 The Unlikely Bond
In 2011, Lakshmi, a distressed elephant was found in Andhra Pradesh, India. She was weak, malnourished, and had been subjected to severe cruelty. Fortunately, she was found by members of the Wildlife SOS team, an organization committed to rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife in distress across India. They immediately launched a rescue operation.

The team worked day and night, providing intensive medical care, a healthy diet, and lots of love. Slowly but surely, Lakshmi began to regain her strength and trust in humans. Her main caretaker, a man named Amir, formed a special bond with her. Despite her size, Lakshmi responded to Amir with the gentleness of a puppy, earning her the affectionate nickname, ‘Gentle Giant’.
