The rhinos treat her as one of the herd, sleeping next to her, cuddling her and even trekking around the orphanage in South Africa with her.

Jamie said: “Lunga arrived when he was only three weeks old and we spent every moment with him.

“Faith arrived a few weeks later and the two of them bonded quite quickly. Matthew joined around six months later and they became inseparable.

"I often think of how lucky I am to be able to do this and I’m also very conscious of where the rhinos are and what they’re doing so that I don’t get too squashed!
