Rescued Elephant Has The Sweetest Reaction To Music | The Dodo Faith = Restored 

"The younger elephants like faster music." Damn that Rock and Roll.

Elephants have been known to appreciate music, Paul Barton has an entire channel dedicated to this, he's a wholesome guy

The baby elephant at the end was too cute "OOPS did I mess things up?, let me sneak away and like like it wasn't me".

There are tears running down my face right now. This was one of the most touching experiences I've had. This video changed me.

Ironically for many centuries the elephant's ancestors were killed to make the keys of the piano.

The baby at the end!!!!! He was like ‘oh no I’m sorry!’ So cute!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Their taste of music is just like us people. The older ones like classical music while the younger elephants like fast, thrilling music. It just adds to their intelligence! 😊

Elephants are just colossal doggos :D

What a moment of beauty in this ugly world

Not every day you get to see an elephant relaxing to classical music. And to see them build this beautiful bond.. absolutely heartwarming :)

It’s beautiful to see this kind of empathy and compassion for these vulnerable, injured and formerly abused elephants; it’s right to simply care about them because they are obviously intelligent and social beings who mourn their dead, sometimes staying for many many days at a time with the remains of one of their friends. I can’t look at that behavior and ignore it or dismiss it, it looks and feels too much like the way we grieve and suffer when we lose people and pets that we love. So to show these animals some respect and support is deserved. They’ve been through too much injustice and pain at the hands of some humans. I don’t want to see them be miserable, and afraid of all of us - these elephants deserve to be protected them from their previous, bad human captors, and rehabilitated as best as they can. Hopefully they can be happy as they live out the rest of their lives, with a little piano music now and then. 🐘 🤍

This just warmed my heart to tears! Elephants are THE most amazing animals, and for this man to care enough to try to make their life better gives me hope, and proves angels exist

I just love how elephants are unaware of their physical size and act like babies....they are such beautiful creatures. My experience in Thailand where they provide elephant rides I could see how sad they look forced against their will, I chose to feed them with the money that usually the mahout charges for the rides.

I love how he uses a real, upright piano, rather than an electronic one. This man has standards.

Without compassion we have no future......great video and great job!

This video never fails to make me cry every time i watch it, bless this man for showing human culture to these wonderful creatures we share the world with

It’s so funny how they touch each other’s ears like saying “do u hear that???””””

This man needs a whole documentary. His story is beautiful but I'm just so curious about what inspired this dream of his. As it is now, it just seems like he randomly woke up one day and went, "... You know what? I think I'd like to play piano for rescued elephants." Dodo, get on this xD

This was one of the sweetest and nicest things I've ever seen. It should be clear and obvious to anyone, that elephants are not just very smart animals, but are indeed sentient beings on a scale equal to humans, apes, dolphins, octopi, etc. Clearly all such creatures should deserve the respect and consideration which humanity seems compelled to reserve for itself only and even then, not often. No wonder, why "other" higher intelligences refrain from having contact with us. - 😃♉❤✌

Thank you for exhibiting a better and far more grace filled part of humanity

The look on Chaichana's face when he's lying down by the piano is priceless.

When he plays for elephants, I cry every. single. time.

Learning to appreciate music is truly a sign of deep appreciation. Elephants are generally very intelligent.

I like this man instantly. Grateful for rescuers and kind souls like those featured.

You give them music but they give you more.

Most people underestimate the personality and intelligence of most animals.

May the Lord bless you Paul Barton! Thank you

Love how he just stands absolutely still and listens...

This shows how there is still some nice people out there....and together we can make more ❤️

Elephants are extraordinary animals, and like all wild animals are deserving of our protection and compassion. Paul, you are magnificent.

I'd feel privileged too! He is so CLOSE! such gentle creatures.

Elephants are the most beautiful animals.

Great way to start the morning

It's the human who finds his purpose in life, sometimes it's playing piano for elephants. Bless him.

It is so nice seeing animals being treated as they should be treated. Not with instant aggression.

I love what you're doing! You play so beautifully for these elephants. It's so heartbreaking how these elephants are subjected to harsh working conditions and exploited in so many ways. Your gift of music is healing them and giving them a fresh perspective on coexisting in peace with humans. Thank you sir.

That’s why we have to protect elephants, there very special, don’t abuse them or use them for brutal work 🤙❤️🙏🐘🌍

Reduced me to tears.. I didn’t even know about Paul, I’m off to check him out now. Elephants are so incredibly intelligent & often many never take the time to just be present in their company & listen to their needs. They’re some of the most breathtaking creatures. It’s always been a dream of mine to spend time with them in a sanctuary / respite space but since I have my own disabilities I’m not sure if it’s all just a pipe dream now. What this man is doing for them is quite powerful, you can see that in the way they respond. Thank you for sharing DoDo x

Much respects. Two kind of human…. Good and bad. Simple as that.

thats beautiful. WHO , WHY would someone give that a thumbs down ? some people just suck

The babies are adorable! What a wonderful place for these elephants - no worries. Beautiful man to dedicate himself this way. Music is beautiful.

Aww it's like there trying to sing along

Cry😢 this is very touching

Elephants do never forget anything you did to them they can also remember Faces

I love elephants ❤️❤️ i wish i could hug him .....such a sweetie

This is so sweet. This man has a kind ❤️

That’s the power of music, it brings people and animals together

Love love love these beautiful Elephants and their squeaky singing and dancing, along with the piano They love music!❤

In case you did not know what heaven maybe like

I actually watch his RU-vid videos and love to see him play for the elephants. My favorite video is Paul playing fast music for 2 elephants. One of the elephants is playing the piano with him and bops his head up and down like a rocker playing guitar. What a beautiful thing!

Unbelievable, how intelligent these animals really are. A lot more people in this world should really wake up and see just how unique and intelligent they really are, end the poaching already!!!

How could anybody dislike thers over 300 dislikes. Those people clearly don't have much of a heart. Elephants are amazing loving animals. This guy playing the piano is a great person bless him.

Elephant listening to music like a baby

My squirrels love metel, I'll be headbanging and handing out peanuts out the window doing dishes, squirrels and doves love metal, or the peanuts, not sure which lol.

There IS A HEAVEN ON EARTH. AND IT'S RIGHT THERE and Paul Barton is a TRUE ANGEL.❤❤❤❤❤❤

At one point the elephant looked like it was dancing? I love elephants especially the babies 🥰

That’s Paul Barton at the piano! God bless him his daughter Emilie, and his wife, snd the river Kwai sanctuary!

Your a Hero

Absolutely beautiful

this man deserves a special place in heaven for rescuing

Amazing that this creature can still listen to & take in his present environment despite such a tough life. Many people can't do this. They get stuck in their past & can't leave it behind. I'm awed. ♥️💛💚💙🧡❤️

Paul Barton's channel is one of the most wonderful things in the Universe

I didn't want this video to end. This should be a documentary

Wow what a beautiful soul full man he is! Bless you

aweeeeeeee elephants are such good luck may god good bless your soul

I wish there was a “love’ button.

biggest animal with the biggest heart literally and sentimentally....Elephants have always been in my top favorite animals ❤

These abused and mistreated elephants can now enjoy life. God bless this man for showing so much compassion towards these beautiful and majestic creatures. One of the most touching videos I've ever seen.

I've always loved elephants and I know this man makes God so proud this is beyond beautiful

It gets me right in the feels. Bless these beautiful creatures.

You are so lucky found your mission on earth , this truly is so touching whenever I watch your videos, how lucky away from evil civilization and just Elephants, my most favorite instrument, and nature! Ohh God this is my dream life 😏🙏❤️🐘😘

He doesn't like the music, he loves it 😊

Amazingly beautiful

I am familiar Paul Barton. Particularly, him playing Debussy "Claire de lune" to the elephant! The video was beautiful and moving!

I've seen this before. It is such a beautiful representation of what Mankind and animal should be like together. We are all the same. We are all living on the planet and deserve to have joy and music and kindness. But something about elephants just makes me cry. Just knowing what they've gone through for centuries. And they continue to go through it. It's just heartbreaking.

Tearing up. So happy to see these beautiful a animals given a second life filled with love and peace

Sooo beautiful 🎶 and 🐘 💕👏👏

I love how the baby elephant tried to play the piano at the end so cute!

My man needs to voice over documentaries, his voice is gold.....

I wish we had more people like him in this world. He has such a big heart. Thank you for being so wonderful with the elephants.

Beautiful.....not just the music, but.....everything! What a Gift of Love.

I love them!🙏❤🐘🥰🤗😘

This world would be a very happy place if animals were in charge!!! 🦋🐢🐍🐫🦧🦓🐑🐖🦘🦛🐩🐇🦜🐈🦡🦒🐘🐅🐋

What you're doing gives me faith in humanity

OMG I LITERALLY WENT THERE WHY DIN’T I SEE THIS GUY (by the way i was stressed out and crying at this field trip)

They all look like they are smiling while you play for them.Wonderful,just wonderful.

friggin unbelievable. wonderful to play for that giant and it seems he actually likes it. there could be hope for us yet.

What a loving, generous man! A wonderful role model for us all.

Oh he fits perfectly to this channel! I’ve been following his channel for a long time , as well as i followed the dodo channel, and I love what he is doing and sharing. But I think the piano duets with peter the Elefant are definitely missing here😅😊

This is a really nice post. Piano music therapy for elephant. I think it's absolutely beautiful, fantastic, and super amazing to soothe these super brilliant beautiful elephants- - and my only question is, "Who'da thunk?!"

It's most marvellous to have free loving communication with the animals.. Every animal is highly sensitive n instinctive and responds to good, calm energy.. From a dog to a cat to a sheep, frog or an elephant

My dogs really love when I turn the television channel to classical, old blues, or old jazz channels.

When it comes to animals who had hard lives and were miss understood we try and be there we love are pets even if they don’t look or act the same but when it comes to humans we don’t get how are smallest differents are what makes us unique we fight over race sex religion sexuality gender political but deep down we all just want to be loved and respected for who we are

That’s just too adorable, it made me cry but in a good way. You are giving the elephants some joy and peace in their lives and you can see they are enjoying it. Peace and love to you and your family 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Elephants can really feel the music from pianos since they're grounded instruments they send off a lot of vibrations as well as the beautiful music in the air - it's wonderful to see them enjoying themselves.

How lovely you have been with him in his retirement

That is just wonderful, seeing this warms my heart, god bless that elephant.

My heartttttttt! I love this so much and I’m so happy and grateful for him and for the caretakers who provide a safe place for these giant beauties. 🐘 💗

If we all were at least 1 percent of this guys kindness the world would be so beautiful you really moved me this is soo beautiful

Elephants are wonderful creatures with deep intelligence and feeling. I love that these elephants are being treated so well.
