TINY TRUMPETER, SWT SERIES NO. 2
As our favorite season approaches, we are excited to feature one of your favorite prints as our November Print of the Month. For years, Tiny Trumpeter has been one of our best sellers, and this holiday season is the perfect time to gift the lovable Luggard to your friends and family.
Luggard was rescued in March 2016 after bullets shattered two of his legs. Thanks to the quick attention and expertise of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust veterinary units, Luggard was brought to the Nursery and rehabilitated back to health. Since then, he has made a miraculous recovery, with only a slight limp to show for the struggles he has endured.
Since we last checked in on Luggard in June 2018, he has been busy around the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. While he still walks with a limp and struggles to keep up with others, he has become increasingly social, confident, and loving. As new orphans join the herd, Luggard becomes their caretaker, guiding them into the forest and helping them find food before safely returning to the Nursery. His closest companion is his stable-mate, Musiara, who matches his own pace to Luggard’s and plays gently with him so as not to exacerbate his injuries. In addition to his elephant companions, Luggard has a soft spot for his human caretakers and is always eager to meet newcomers.
If, like us, you can’t get enough of Luggard, we recommend following SWT’s Keeper’s Diaries, where SWT staff share news and stories of our favorite orphans. If you’re hoping to get a print of Tiny Trumpeter for yourself or for a loved one, it is discounted 15% during November, which is perfect timing to place your framed print orders by December 2nd to ensure timely arrival for the holidays.
