Okay, okay, not YOU guys and gals!  Well, maybe some of you.  These two, Suryia the orangutan and Roscoe the Bluetick Coonhound, definitely are and they have a wonderful lesson to remind us of.  The lesson of the importance of friendship. 

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 Suryia is a little afraid of the water and  needs his friend, Roscoe'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!!!!!!! 

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.
