A few days later, Dr. Smith pulled me aside with some incredible news.
“Emily, you need to see Dumbo’s latest blood work. His stress hormone levels have dropped by two-thirds since you started working with him. His immune system is stronger than it’s been in years. Medically speaking, this elephant is a completely different animal than he was a year ago.”
He shook his head in amazement. “What you’ve done isn’t just emotionally remarkable—it’s scientifically significant. You’ve essentially documented the physical healing power of trust and companionship.”
Knowing that Dumbo’s body was healing along with his spirit made everything we’d been through feel even more meaningful.
