Zoo Celebrity
Word of Dumbo’s transformation spread throughout the zoo community and beyond. Visitors started coming specifically to see “the elephant who learned to trust again,” and they weren’t disappointed.
Where Dumbo used to hide in the back of his habitat, he now spent his days front and center, interacting with guests, showing off for the cameras, and generally being the charming elephant I always knew he could be.
Kids especially loved him. They’d press their faces against the viewing glass and wave, and Dumbo would wave back with his trunk, sending them into fits of giggles.
“Look, Mom, he’s saying hi to me!”
“That elephant really likes people!”
If only they knew the journey it had taken to get there.
