You're not alone, milady, same with me.

[@vaultusa]

Want to thank good old ol' Louie for bringing me to this video after reading about it in his book, "Louie take a look at this!, My time with huell howser."

[@Marckymarc71]

I'm reading it now and just had to revisit this episode after reading Luis' recollection of it :)

[@wowguy3562]

My daughter got me the book for Christmas, I'm so happy to have found this video. Thank you Louie for filming this, its beautiful

[@jarimikkola2997]

It took a minute or two, but she remembers her handler well.

[@MoMo-xb7nr]

This is a great follow up to a cool vid, is so great

[@RickAZCA]

I was at the Park the day they filmed this. Went up to Huell and introduced myself. He could not have been nicer. Rest in Peace Huell.

[@KennyboyGM]

[@wowguy3562]

Awesome job Louie

[@chrisstephens5310]

[@franciscosandiego3026]

This is sad the trainer the elephant, and the reporter all are dead.

[@operasinger2126]

Wow.

[@EvanBakerian]

I wonder if Nita was aware whenever they mentioned Charlie’s name.

[@PatrickMcManusNY]

I love Charlie Frank's hat, anyone know where one could purchase one?

[@JCtheROD]

"Nita what are you doing out there, you better get over here before i whip and cane you like i used to" Yea this is a real love story, you can just tell from Charlie's voice That he respects these majestic creatures.

[@cungnawlkawlhla8789]

When i was young,we use eliphan tail hair for aring.

[@cheezywheezy5568]

it's crazy how all these guys are now dead :(

[@dutchdna]

Asian cow? I thought it was an elephant ;)

[@gamberjr2329]

oh yeah, love a first site....thats why he has a bull hook in his hand in every picture.

[@vidguy007]

Thats a cain.

[@joekidd777]

It was his cane,idiot.

[@brendaweiner43]

@@joekidd777at 15:50, that's no cane- Huell and the trainers show it's an old bull hook. You could tell her old owner, though he loved her, they had a relationship based on the threat of pain.
