A team landed in Sri Lanka to conduct research concerning elephants. What they got, however, was a surprise from a much more petite stranger.

With a big wide world filled with stories to uncover, it can be quite burdensome to experience all of life’s magic alone. Needless to say, we need each other for support when the going gets tough and nothing seems to be able to remedy the ailment. The same could be said about dogs especially since their survivability almost completely depends on how we care for them.

One by one team members attempted to coax nearby pedestrians and city-goers to temporarily adopt Lek Lek as they had no choice but to try and give the doggo some care before they parted ways. Oddly enough, most people were hesitant when offered the furry friend due to the gender of the dog being female.

The group even asked their driver, Thushara, to kindly monitor the dog as they went around trying desperately to find a home for their new found buddy. With no luck, the group decided to take the dog that night and allowed her to sleep in the dormitory. It could have been Lek Lek’s first full rest in a very long time.
