Sick Dog And Orphaned Orangutan
~
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.

May you always have a Sunbeam to warm you,
~
A moonbeam to charm you,
~
A sheltering angel so nothing can harm you,
~
Laughter to cheer you, Faithful friends near you.
