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.

    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.

    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.

    Tea - you are absolutely right. Even though the trading and sales of orangutans, an endangered species, is illegal, that does not stop thoughtless people from buying baby orangutans as pets. These pets are abandoned when they grow to be unmanageable, necessitating the need for wildlife sanctuaries like the one featured in this video. Many times, two adults are killed for the capture of one baby. This BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8000909.stm highlights the threats to orangutans from the pet trade.

    Thank you Thank you for taking the time to make this video and send it to us. It shows to me what wonderful stuff happens when we ignore our differences and act from the heart!

    A wonderful and fun video. This looks very much like the relationship I am having with my dog friend Yoghio, including the rolling about.

    Cute - yes - but I think that more should be explained about the facility because people look at videos like this and then decide to get an orangutan for themselves and essentially sign its death warrant because they do not realize the full needs and demands that having wild animals entails... If you love animals please see the film - An Elephant in the Living Room...
