Ever since I watched Clint Eastwood's movie, "Every Which Way But Loose", I have loved Orangutans. Add that to my love of dogs and you will understand that the story of Suryia the orangutan and Roscoe the hound dog would sooner or later grace this site. The duo became mates after meeting at a South Carolina sanctuary for endangered animals. They are now inseparable as Suryia and Roscoe can be seen swimming and playing together daily around the sanctuary.
The narrator of the video is Dr. Bhagavan Antle, who has his detractors like Carole Baskin of "Big Cat Rescue". Like Carole, Dr Antle is an animal rights wacko, he is also the founder of the animal sanctuary he runs. I must admit he is good at what he does, but it is fun to watch those on the left attack other leftists. This is but a bit of what he says about the orangutan and the hound at his sanctuary.
"He, the hound dog, followed us through the gate and ran over and found Suryia. As soon as he saw Roscoe, Suryia ran over to him and they started playing. It was unusual because dogs are usually scared of primates but they took to each other straight away. They will spend a few hours each day together rolling around, swimming. Suryia will take Roscoe for walks around the enclosure and even feeds him some of his monkey biscuits"."
About Me: I am a born again Christian who enjoys talking religion and politics. I have always believed that it is the Christian's obligation to understand the workings of our government as well as they do the precepts of God. Jesus tells us to be "wise as serpents and harmless as doves". (Mark 10:16) So it is with this understanding that I approach life. I was born in the Midwest, and while I may have grown up in Northern Minnesota, I have earned my degree in knowledge and understanding from the many regions of America and Europe that I have either lived in or visited as an adult.
