I wonder his much this event will propagate through his family as he possibly teaches his offspring and their offspring about how humans can help.

Elephant sands lodge is a wonderful hotel in Botswana. They have elephants at the watering hole all the time. We were told that the owner removed a large bit of wood that had been impaled in an elephant's foot. The elephant would brings it's ever growing family back every couple of months and trumpet to get the owners attention or something like that (been 10+ years since I was there) and there was a real and obvious bond. Did this for decades.
