Hairy Friends

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.
