Bubbles is an orphan elephant living in Myrtle Beach Safari, South Carolina, an endangered animal sanctuary.

According to a report on MSN.com, Bubbles arrived to Myrtle Beach Safari in 1983 after her family was killed for their tusks, and Bella joined the pictured in 2007 when a contractor hired to build pool, abandoned his pet dog (Bella) at the safari. Since then the two have been inseparable.
