Sometimes we find friendship in strange places and at strange times in our lives

HERE IS A LOVELY STORY ABOUT TWO ANIMALS THAT PROVED THAT NO MATTER WHAT COLOUR OR TYPE YOU ARE, IF NEEDS BE YOU CAN BE FRIENDS FOREVER.




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 veterinary surgeons  thought he would surely die for he didn't seem to have the will to live any more.  
Strnge though it may seemed the zoo keepers found an old sick dog on  the grounds in the park at the zoo where the  orangutan lived. Without more ado they took the dog to the animal  treatment center.  The dog arrived at the  same time the orangutan was there being treated.   Within moments the two animals had bonded, something in their look created a spark in the other's soul and from that day on the two animals became inseparable. 
 They are together 24 hours a day and each helps the other as though they were long time blood brothers. Isn't life strange children and wonderful.
   

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. 



 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!
