A myeloma list friend (thank you! ) recently sent me a heartwarming, REAL story about an orphaned baby hippo that was adopted by a 130-year-old tortoise (see photo). This amazing adoption occurred more than three years ago, in December of 2004, but I hadn’t heard about it.

Anyway, you can read the full story here (and check out the photos, soooo adorable!): http://tinyurl.com/98fbh

We could learn so much from animals…
