After losing his
parents, this 3 year old orangutan was so depressed he wouldn't eat and didn't
respond to any medical treatments. The veterinarians thought he would surely
die from sadness. The zoo keepers found
an old sick dog on the grounds in the park at the zoo where the orangutan lived
and took the dog to the animal treatment center. The dog arrived at the same
time the orangutan was there being treated... The
2 lost souls met and have been inseparable ever since. The
orangutan found a new reason to live and each always tries his best to be a
good companion to his new found friend. They
are together 24 hours a day in all their activities.
They live in Northern
California where swimming is their favorite past time, although Roscoe (the
orangutan) is a little afraid of the water and
needs his friend's help to swim.
Together they have
discovered the joy and laughter in life and the value of friendship.
They have found more
than a friendly shoulder to lean on.
Long Live
Friendship!!!!!!! I don't know... some say
life is too short, others say it is too long, but I know that nothing that we
do makes sense if we don't touch the hearts of others... while it lasts!
May you always have Love to Share, Health to Spare, And Friends
who Care.....even if they are a little hairy at times.
