H E R O A N I M A L S The Elephant That Rescued T

The Elephant That Rescued The Girl
**Now available to watch on YouTube, Link in Bio**

Re-living how an eight-year-old girl survived a freak tidal wave thanks to an elephant called, Ning Nong.

Amber Owen was enjoying the holiday of a lifetime in Thailand when the Boxing Day 2004 tsunami struck, killing nearly a quarter-million people.

The little girl could easily have been among the dead or injured. Unaware of the deadly events unfolding deep in the Indian Ocean, she was enjoying a ride on her new best friend: Ning Nong, the elephant. But, unusually, Ning Nong was unsettled, and when the sea ebbed out suddenly, ran from the beach, still carrying Amber and forcing its handler in the same direction.

Minutes later, from safe higher ground, all watched in horror as a vast wave from a sub-sea earthquake inundated the coast. The tsunami’s death and injuries toll shocked the world, but Amber lived – all thanks, say her family, to the instincts and quick reaction of her elephant friend.
