Little Tom the kindest elephant wheels a girl
A photograph shows Little Tom an elephant wheeling a two year old girl in her baby carriage each pleasant morning. The girl is the daughter of the Yankee Robin show's owner who lives at winter quarters. Tom uses his trunk to push the buggy and whistles for a caretaker if the ride ends. The baby brings him a gift of fruit. The image won a prize at last year’s photographers convention and is praised as a unique photo in the world.
