Like a Great Dane that thinks it's a lap dog. At least dumbo is still (just barely) small enough the lady wasn't harmed, but I'll bet that was uncomfortable, even if it was kind of amusing. Elephants are cool, fascinating animals. But one needs to be careful around them just due to their size. And if they get pissed about something, hoh man, watch out.
Late fil was from South Africa and said when a bull got too old they would pretty much kick him out of the herd and he would more or less go nuts. He would go on a rampage and there was only one way to stop him. He showed me a picture of a set of tusks from his younger days and they completely framed a doorway in their house.

Even 2 years. Elephants grow fairly quick. And I've watched enough nature shows to know elephants just like to sit on things, even living things.
