British zookeepers craft cozy slippers for sore-footed Gay the elephant

Gay the Elephant is stepping out in style.

The 40-year-old pachyderm was suffering from foot abscesses until the staff at her zoo in Devon, England had her fitted her with a pair of red slippers to keep her comfortable.

At first Gay seemed reluctant and even tried to untie them, but once she got used to the slippers she seemed to be more comfortable and is now the best shod elephant at the zoo. 

She also has the best-groomed feet.

She now gets regular pedicures to help the pain and swelling.
