Bubbles the elephant has a true-blue pool pal in Bella the dog 
The parameters of friendship are never absolute, but it's nice when a pal gives you a sense of purpose. And when it comes to her chum Bella, Bubbles the elephant's purpose is to serve as the world's biggest playmate and most patient diving board. The 32-year-old elephant came to South Carolina's Myrtle Beach Safari in 1983, a rescued baby from the horrible slaughter of African adult elephants by ivory hunters. When a contractor hired to build a pool at the preserve in 2007 abandoned his black Labrador there, the two animals formed an unlikely bond. Now the pair can't get enough of the water or each other, even though Bubbles is something of a star (she's been in "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls," among other shows) and a diva. "I think Bubbles believes she's an incredible superior creature that rules this kingdom she lives in," a safari employee said. "I think Bella is a just a happy-go-lucky dog."
