You Gotta Have Friends [via our friend Joanna Angsten]





After losing his parents, this three-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 of the park at the zoo where the orangutan lived and took the dog to he animal treatment center. The dog arrived at the same time that the orangutan was there being treated. The two lost souls met and have been inseparable ever since.

The orangutan found a new reason to live and each of them 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.
