Orangutan and Bluetick Coonhound, Best Friends

Suryia, an Orangutan, and Roscoe, a Bluetick Coonhound, are best friends, living at a preserve for endangered animals in South Carolina. They met a couple of years ago when Roscoe, looking thin and hungry, followed staff home to The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (TIGERS) in Myrtle Beach. Suryia and Roscoe hugged and started playing together like long-lost friends.

The special relationship between Suryia and Roscoe demonstrates that true friends come in all shapes, sizes, colors, ages … and species!
