Harare – Being charged by an elephant would get anyone’s blood pumping – but just look how well this tracker dog in Zimbabwe behaves!
A short video clip posted to Facebook by the Environmental Stewardship Trust shows tracker dog Polaris sitting motionless in the back of a vehicle as an elephant thunders towards the car in Zimbabwe’s Save Valley Conservancy.
His humans murmur as the vehicle speeds off and the elephant trumpets – but Polaris utters only the tiniest whine.
“He was very good. Never barked once,” said Lara Clemence of the trust, which is a leading conservation group in the Save Valley conservancy.
Polaris, who’s a Belgian Shepherd, is one year and six months old. He is still undergoing training that will turn him into a vital asset in the war against poachers.
Watch this dog’s ears as the elephant charges!
