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 centre. 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 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 North California where swimming is their favourite 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 value of friendship
This story has a lot more to offer then just humour. What if people could get along like these two. What a wonderful world it could be….
We have seen all types of animals get along…horse and duck…pig and cat…cow and swan….dog nurses kittens…dog and birds….etc….incredible…..
