After losing his parents, this 3 year old orang-utan 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 two lost souls met and have been inseparable ever since.

The orang-utan 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 orang-utan) is a little afraid of the water and needs his friend’s help to swim.

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.
Nothing matters more than our friends. When they need us, be there for them. When you are in the wrong, say you are sorry. Friends are for good times as well as bad.
And when things go wrong, when things are said that should not be said, move heaven and hell to put things right.
