Man's best friend...

'Orangutan' or 'orang hutan' is actually Malay for 'jungle man'. A friend who used to work in the Forestry Department or 'Jabatan Hutan' has been referred to jokingly as 'orang hutan' - loosely to mean 'man from forestry'.

Anyway, being one of the closest primates to man, it is small wonder that man's best friend can relate to him too! Here's the story:

Suryia and Roscoe live at the Tigers sanctuary in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The orangutan was in the rescue center and was not doing well. This old hound wandered in truly emaciated and the orangutan took to him the moment the dog arrived. He stayed with the hound night and day until he was well and during the process found a reason to live. They are now inseparable.
