The Orangutan and the Hound Dog

89,633 views

Suryia and Roscoe are the best of friends. What makes their story unusual is that Suryia is an orangutan and Roscoe is a Blue Tick hound that became friends instantly, when they crossed paths at a South Carolina preserve for endangered animals. Now they swim together, play together, share cookies, take each other out for walks...and generally bring a smile to the faces of all that see them together.

Consider what the true roots of friendship are. Are there rich friendships that you might be missing out on because of purely superficial differences?

In what country can an elephant walk free thru the streets like this, it is wonderous? Is this Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia? This video has made my day! But what country is this?

I have a German Shorthaired Pointer, who is often confused with a blue tick hound. I LOVE CRITTERS, and this is such a great story. Unfortunately I am too old, but would have loved being able to help with the care of these two in my younger days. Is Roscoe still alive? Oddly enough, that was my husband's nickname. I lost him almost six years ago at the age of 73.

Are they both still alive to this day??? This day meaning 10/7/13.

These two amazing animals are a joy to watch. It's truly a gift to see such a rare friendship flourish between two creatures who are worlds apart.

Yet another proof that animals are not so dumb and that they too can 'get on'.

Animals are here to make our lives more relaxing. We should all live on farms and relye on the animals to live. This is a hard life but the rewards are full in Lasting Love.
