Dok Geaw is a baby elephant who seemed very happy to go back to the woods. The elephant lost her mother at a very young age of four months. Dok’s mother was used for logging purposes. The elephant was forced to work despite being severely injured. Sadly, the stress and workload were too much for the elephant to take and it passed away. This left Dok Geaw all alone. The newborn elephant seemed very much sad all the time. This made everyone concerned about the baby’s well-being. Finally, with the help of a couple of animal enthusiasts, Dok has finally made it back to the jungle.
