1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Louisiana State University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter.

Concerned for the animal’s well-being, Peter approached cautiously, mindful of maintaining a safe distance. He observed the elephant carefully, noting the furrowed brow and the slight tremble in its stance. It was clear that something was amiss, and Peter felt a pang of empathy stirring within him.

Drawing upon his knowledge of wildlife gained from his studies, Peter began to assess the situation. He surmised that the elephant may have injured its leg, leaving it unable to bear weight on it. The thought of the majestic creature in pain stirred something deep within Peter’s heart, igniting a sense of determination to help.

With a calm and steady demeanor, Peter approached the elephant, speaking softly in soothing tones. He extended his hand in a gesture of trust, hoping to convey his intentions of offering assistance. To his surprise, the elephant seemed to sense his kindness, its wary gaze softening as it regarded him.
