faithful elephants

i think that faithful elephants is about the bond between an animal and a person. this is shown with john,wanly, tonky and their trainer. the trainer had to sit and suffer and watch his beloved elephants be killed. and him even caving to the grief to save their lives. this shows no matter what happens an animal and a person have an everlasting friendship. 

in the text it says "seeing his beloved elephants dying this way the elephant trainer felt as if his heart would break" this line really shows the misery the trainer was going through. also he cared so much for his elephants. to then imagine being a person and see animals your very close with die right in front of you.  so you really cant break a bond between an animal and a person.
