Nick found the little elephant wandering the jungle of Cambodia all alone. The elephant’s foot had been snared and cut off. How can an elephant survive without a foot? Impossible. But Nick was determined. And finally he got the people at an orthotics school to help him. After several trials, they found the right combination for an elephant boot. What a beautiful story! There are a few photos and Nick and Chhouk in the back matter. A perfect companion to Beauty and the Beak by Deborah Lee Rose.
