Not a new story but worth watching again and again! So amazingly
touching - the story of Shirley and Jenny, two crippled elephants
reunited at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee after a 22-year
separation. The bonding was immediate, intense and unforgettable between
the two former circus elephants.
Jenny and Shirley were both at the same circus when Jenny was a calf and Shirley was in her twenty's. They lived one winter together then were separated twenty-two years ago. It is very rare for elephants to display this kind of emotion in captivity, and it's probably the first time such a thing has been documented on film.

Jenny passed away peacefully October 17, 2006 surrounded by those she loved most ~ Shirley, Bunny, Tarra and her caregivers.
