  • This is one of the most adorable things i have ever seen in my life . :)) sooooooooo cute

  • Sidenote: It is thought "Gigantopithecus" may be distant relative of the Orangutan.

  • I NEVER KNEW THAT THEY SWIM LIKE ROCKS (THEY SINK).

  • 14 dislikes.. That's so sad. This is a beautiful video. Us humans should be more compassionate like these two. Joy to watch.

  • This shows what real love can be like. Something so wonderful. praying for a love revolution with people also instead of fighting and killing each other.

  • I have been teaching my middle school students about your programs. We have been watching the videos and reading about endangered animals as well as all the wonderful things you do to enlighten people. Expect letters from my special ed.class and know that we are grateful. i will visit my cousins in SC sometime soon and we'll all plan to visit TIGERS! This video is so inspiring. I just saw the book yesterday. You represent hope for all of us. Thank you, Joey Bortnick

  • We are former and current blue tick owners. This is a wonderful video....Love it..

  • this is just so adorable!!

  • si así nos amaramos, otro mundo, otro mundo

  • <3<3<3<3<3

  • Well, now I know which video to watch when I'm having a crappy day! Thanks for sharing this, it's AWESOME.

  • Talk about destiny - I'm so pleased Roscoe chose that moment to appear. How lovely to see these beautifully kept, well-loved, wonderful animals having such a good life. They should show this video in schools to give an example of how we should all behave together.

  • Congratulations for Suryia & Roscoe. They´re wonderful, a life lesson for us all.

  • Congratulations for Suryia & Roscoe. They´re wonderful, a life leson for us all.

  • so cute

  • this is so cute

  • if we humans could only learn something from Roscoe and Suria... love the video, mad my day!

  • Soulmates ;)

  • What is the song??????

  • This video made my day! Roscoe reminded me of my old hound dog Scooby Doo. Suriya and Bubbles are wonderful...may all three live long, healthy and happy lives!

  • who are the plonkers who don't like this? animal haters and meat eaters probably

  • That Bluetick coonhound lives up to the reputation of being great companions and loving company. We have two rescued coonhounds and this makes me want to find a 3rd rescue. Coondogs are typically "let go" by hunters when they are no longer good hunting dogs. So thankful to God that Roscoe found his way to you all - gotta love that Suryia.

  • #¤%& palm oil!!!

  • can anyone tell the song at beginning?????

  • This is an example of Unconditional Love. God Bless You.

  • I noticed that suryia is an ambassador for endangered species. Does he wear a uniform? If so can you put some video or pictures of him up?

  • even animals have love at first sight :)

  • Thank you so much for this video..I have e-mailed it to many friends. You are doing wonderful work, but I can't imagine who would have abandoned this beautiful Pointer. Lucky for him and for Suryia that they ended up in your care.

  • This brought a tear to my eye!!! So adorable!!!! 

  • i just had a weird thought. apes and man have many things in common. a dog's real best friend could actually be apes. i heard animals communicate telepathically hmmm

  • does anybody know the name of the song in the beginning

  • I would give everything I own away, to be able to play with an orangutan all day long.

  • 2:25 priceless!

  • 2:27 priceless!

  • You both are the most Blessed Humans to have these wonderful beings as part of your Family! I would Love this for myself

  • coolest job ever

  • absolutly adorable!!! love has no boundries :)

  • didn't know Michael Vick had a soft side

  • like it

  • kind of like it

  • Haha that is so cool :D

  • Love This Video..just Fantastic..!!!!!!

  • Lets all wish this happy couple many years of Flea & tic Free living. I know I do .... God bless those crazy kids..... We're all pull-n for ya..

  • Thank you! Beautiful!

  • Doc, Pat Flood here. I worked at Strand Metals where y'all used to buy some steel for cages. I had the 'ol Black & Tan hound dog Roscoe when y'all first got to Socastee. I had to put him down last Christmas. Seeing your video with the dog, elephant and orangutan sure took me back to the mid 1990's when I had visited your place to help build some stuff. I just wanted to say hello and I hope all of you are doing well. Great video. Best wishes.

    Pat

  • Inspiring. Going to be hard on the Orang when the dog "leaves".

  • Absolutely adorable

  • Very impressed !

    Love that video and the music too ! Buds ! :)

  • How wonderful! Can we learn from these animals? I wish more people would take note. Thanks for sharing and for doing this wonderful job. Bless your hearts and bless those sweet darlings.

  • ive been studing about primates and big cats and elephants since i was old enough to read and i have wanted to work at tigers preserve since i found out it exsist and i work with our pets here in our house potty train them and i love to train animals and no one has answered this question is it worth all the hardwork cause i think it is i just want to here it from somone who works there

  • thats just awesome!

  • I love this. You are a special man, and Suryia and Roscoe are magic. Thanks for sharing.

  • this story would make a good disney movie

  • SO FUCKING CUTE!!!!!!!! :'D

  • This reunion is one of examples of Buddhisms Teaching of Reincarnation, Samsara and Karma.

  • Roscoe is a Bluetick Coonhound. They have wonderful dispositions. Most Coonhounds do. Our Bluetick boy Raven is very easy going but don't be fooled these hounds were bred to hunt bear and cougar so they aren't wimps.

  • roscoes' show could be called rescued roscoe and his friends...or some cuter variation lol cant we see him regularly attached to a no kill shelter hawking homes for those not so lucky as he to be loved by an orangutan?

  • Keep up the good work. This video made my day!!

  • I love this and thank you for telling me not to buy palm oil

  • Aww, so adorable!

  • what an excellent gang, who'd have thought such a different mix of animals could get on so well. thats credit to the work you guys do, please keep it up!

  • so beautiful ,,now tell me theres no god

  • this is amazing! what job is this! you have the most amazing job on the planet! can i take your place when you retire?!?! but seriously, how can i work where you work

  • I just want everyone to know that "Roscoe" is a Bluetick Coonhound. It is a very rare and beloved breed of hunting dogs. I only say this because I have on named Trigger and loved the show I saw about these two. Although we can't have orangutans, we can have Blueticks!!! I've often wondered why there are so few of them since they are such loving, endearing protectors for their owners. So...if you're looking for a dog, get a Bluetick!!!!!

  • @TheKdthomason I posted a similar note before seeing yours. I am proud to say I created the first ever Big Game and Coonhound Calendar

  • @bouju1..........good for you! You have my dream life- in my perfect world I would be living your life- keep up the fantastic work!

  • damn what a life they have their!

  • damn what a life they have their!

  • The videos of Suryia and Roscoe are my favorites of all time!

  • What ? Is this your job ? And why do you even have these animals ? By the way, the elephant wouldn't happened to be named Ganesha would it ? :)

  • @shivakrishnarama

    Yes, this is my job, but I do not own these animals. I work for The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (website listed on sidebar). Roscoe and Suryia are two of the animal ambassadors which help with our education programs that are seen by millions of people per year. The elephant's name is "Bubbles" and was given to her by the game rangers in Africa. She came to us as an ivory orphan in the early 1980's. Many of the tigers have sanskrit names though.

  • @bouju1

    keep up the good work :)

  • Molly, I just adored this video. Never saw anything like it! Thanks for sharing!

    Luv, Kathy

  • Why are dogs like that always named "Roscoe"?

  • this is the cutest thing i've seen

  • soooo CUTE

  • Aww, so cute <3

    But isnt orangs kinda long living? I mean these two best friends will have a heart breaking separation when the dog dies in few years :<

  • Suryia has an arranged marriage and will hopefully be ready for a different type of companion by the time Roscoe is that old.

  • @bouju1 AWW This two are soo cute together! :D i hope they stay together for as long as they are living they are so sweet! Cute! :D haha

  • Sooooooooooo  Cute ^ ^ *

  • they taught an Orang to SWIM?

    wow...

  • ....they are primates...most know how to and learn easily. extremely intelligent animals

  • All mammals can swim, if I'm not mistaken...

  • Heartwarming video. Loved it and personally I like the song 'It had to be You' and had forgot about it until today.

  • Good videeo, great story but I wish you would have left out "it had to be you."

  • This is sooooo cute!! Love it!!!

  • that was one of THEE cutest things i have ever seen!

  • 5 stars -BRILLIANT

  • I absolutely loved this video....makes my heart full.

  • where we can find orangutAN?

  • AWW that was so cute!!!!

    unfortunately, palm oil can probably be found in most P&G products. Look on the back of your shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, shaving cream, laundry detergent, cosmetics, etc. -- you'll be surprised at how many of them you buy come from P&G...

  • quality.

  • As a Canadian, I want to thank whoever had the idea to put this up on You Tube. We have very archiac television rules and half the things we watch we'd never get to see if it wasn't for You Tube or the interent. American programs, for the most part, can't be shown in Canada on the Internet unless these shows are seen in Canada as well. So thanks

  • @9DoodleBug

    Archaic isnt the word. Butt fucked is the word. The CRTC is a schill for the telecommunication corps. (Rogers/Bell)

    We need this as an election issue.

  • Friday, 1/22/10. Wow! It doesn't get much better than this! Beautiful video. Thank you for blessing my day. Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. 10 stars and favorite!

  • Amazing! Thank you so much! Brightened up my Saturday! Great way to attract attention to endangered orangutans.

  • GREAT VIDEO...MARVELOUS CREATURES.

  • Enjoyed this video soo much. It was such a pleasure to see Suryia and the dog (didn't catch his name) getting along soo well. Thanks 1000x for showing this video!! Loved it!!!!!

  • OMG this palm oil is in everything, everywhere!

  • 2:06 to 2:10 i was hoping he was re-enacting the T-rex scene from King Kong.

  • Palm Oil names, what to look out for:

    Sodium Laureth Sulphate (Can also be from coconut)

    Sodium Lauryl Sulphates (can also be from ricinus oil)

    Sodium dodecyl Sulphate (SDS or NaDS)

    Palmate

    Palm Oil Kernal

    Palmitate

  • Chemicals that contain palm oil:

    Steareth -2

    Steareth -20

    Sodium Lauryl Sulphate

    Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (coconut and/or palm)

    Hydrated palm glycerides

    Sodium isostearoyl lactylaye (derived from vegetable stearic acid)

    Cetyl palmitate and octyl palmitate (and anything with palmitate at the end)

  • In cosmetics:

    Elaeis Guineensis

    Glyceryl Stearate

    Stearic Acid

  • Palm Oil comes under lots of different names. I will post the names very soon.

  • I fell in love with Orangs at the Fort Worth Zoo. Some little kid threw a pebble ito their habitat and the older one came over and picked it up and threw it back. Next thing I know I am playing toss with an orang for almost an hour. It hurt to leave them. They were like a family. The baby ones were playing peek-a boo and the older ones were trying to groom them and sleep... its incredible. That we think we are the only ones who feel, and love and know things. We could learn so much more...

  • OMG I am loving me some Suryia!!! I did not know about the palm oil. I'm going to look it up to see what products have it, and yes I will not use them. Write the companies and tell them why I won't buy or use it.

  • alot of people dont know about the palm oil industry but just remember pass on the word so that the beloved orangutan wont go extinct

  • Love it brought a smile to my face.

  • This is so freaking gogeous, I can hardly get over it. It speaks VOLUMES about the illogic & insanity of racism.

    I don't know what's wong with buying palm oil, but I won't buy anything with palm oil in it any more. I ALWAYS look at ingedients - usually avoid colous & things I can't understand, now palm oil I will observe too.

    Love to ya fo showing this to the WORLD!

  • i wish my dog had a Monkey friend...... beside me

  • Amazing!

    Like Humans, that Orang is going to be devastated when that dog passes, sucks that dogs don't live longer. :(

  • just like Elves in relation to their short lived human friends...

    err, Ive been reading too much Lord of the Rings :)

  • There is nothing like having your very own dog! I will not buy anything with Palm oil in it from now on

  • Just curious what this has to do with palm oil?

  • The biggest reason orangutans are losing habitat is the slash and burn of old growth forest to make palm oil plantations. One of the biggest issues the wildlife rescue workers are finding with the affected orangutans (aside from major loss of habitat) is they are literally suffering incapacitating and fatal burns and asphyxiation.

  • awesome!

  • How can we doubt that animals can and do have a full range of emotions? Both of these wonderful animals share a bond of friendship, trust and love. Which is more than I can say for some human

  • Amazing! If only people could learn to get a long like these two:)

  • very very cute!

  • Perfect! What a great Video. We all CAN get along!!

    Hey, anybody know where that recording of

    It had to Be You came from? I don't recognize the band or the voice..

    Very Cool!

  • Do a google search, there are lots of different versions, maybe you can find this one. My first thought was Harry Connick Jr, but not sure.

  • When can we move in ?? LoL We really need to see more of this !! Think they would do a better job in the wh.

    Now that is what I call working together, rather than yaffing it up !!

    They have MY VOTE !!!!

    That is what I call LOVE !!!!

  • We are ready to come live with you !!

    Thank they would do better job in the whitehouse....What I call working Together for Love, not screwing the American people over to get ahead !!

    O dear, did I say that out loud ?

    Thank You so much. Roscoe and Suryia....They have MY VOTE !!!!

  • thats rly7 weird

  • So sweet - Love this video!

  • Then one day a wolf came along and the orangutang thought it was his friend. The wolf thought the orangutang was the little red riding hood. The rest of the story is history.

  • Hey !! if they can get on with each other, why cant we? us humans can be horrible vile primates sometimes.

  • Suryia is so nuturing to Roscoe and also so goofy half the time. You can tell that Roscoe doesn't mind one bit how Suryia acts or what he does, he just knows that he has the very best friend in the world. The friendship and love that these two have has put the biggest smile on my face. :)

  • Wow...How precious.

    I've seen other odd couplings like this on the internet. Like the Polar bear playful interacting with the Dog instead of eating it.

    Perhaps there IS reincarnation... how else do these bonds get properly explained.

  • We had a German Shorthair just like this one, she was best friends with the 'runt" of cat's liter, slept with her and watched over her every day. Those dogs are so loveable I cannot imagine anyone losing them and not go looking for them.

  • This has to be one of the sweetest things I've ever seen.

  • In life, sometimes the best of friends are the most unlikely combinations. Go figure.

    If you're feeling lonely, outcast or just plain outside the fence, take heart, someone loves you.

  • made my day :))

  • Thanks so much for uploading this video! It is such a heart-warming story! If only humans could get along as well as some animals this world would be a much better place. Ron

  • a real upper. no palm oil.

  • will look for the palm oil ingredient & avoid ~ simple enough

  • cool pets ~ cool people

  • I wish we people would be more like Suryia and Roscoe, so loving.

  • Orangutans are very special. I heard they are the least violent, most friendly of the primates - hmmm that includes us!

  • thats really cute and now i really want a monkey! :]

  • Oh my God, this is so sweet! Suriya is fabulous and her pal, Roscoe reminds me so much of my GSP, Olive who loves to swim!!! No palm oil, I promise!

  • No palm oil for me... ever!

  • This is so cute.

  • Got enough to do trying to outlaw the needless breeding of BILLIONS of animals - cows, pigs, chickens - for food,

    and subsequent confined, torture and murder, and to win the PETA prize to biotechnologically engineer synthetic meat by the year 2012. Can't worry about palm oil.

  • Are we talking about GMO here? There are already a lot of fabulous faux-meat products made from veggie protein.

  • Hey Tobe -- you really know how to use your Aple App - I sent this one off to two unemployed friends in to brighten their day. Thanks.

  • I've got a pointer and they are the most affectionate dogs.

  • I am totally in love with orangutans now! Thank you.

  • That's it - mammals and birds share the human characteristics for bonding and affection - because we all evolved from the same place. Past time to bring the animals into the sphere of moral consideration and stop exploiting , torturing and killling them, and to cherish our common pool of feelings and behaviors, and to work for a decent life for all human and non human animals! No more palm oil!

  • I'd like to have a love affair like this - just so touching.

  • if you google "palm oil products" - there are sites that list products as well as brands that have signed on to use only "sustainable yield" palm oil and those that have not.

    It's important that we support the good guys and let them know we do and why.

  • if humans evolved from monkeys (just in general meaning all monkeys, orangutans, chimps etc), that dogs have always been "mans" best friend?

  • Thank you for posting this wonderful, touching, and very informative video. You are rendering a great service both to these precious animals as well as to us viewers! NO MORE palm oil in this house!!! Thank you, again, and best wishes!

  • wow! 5/5 stars!

  • they are so amazing together!

    that was a great way to start a day!

  • Its a great video but if the orangutan got mad he could seriously hurt that dog, or drown him.. they are both cute.. I guess they would have to be supervised.

  • Absolute best thing I have ever seen! How ironic too...having a dog and an Oranguan be BFFs. I volunteer in animal rescue where I try with many others to save as many dogs from being euthanized as possible due to overpopulation and irresponsible owners, and here you are trying to save Orangutan's from extinction. Palm Oil is extinct from my house now for sure! Thank you for resuing them both!

  • Julia Roberts did a documentary about orangutans a few years back which was fascinating. They are so clever, one used a boat to get to the other side of the river!  At the Fort Worth Zoo I saw a young one leave his mom, zoom up to another female sleeping on a ledge below, stick his finger in her ear and dash back to his mom. What a prankster! I thoroughly enjoyed your video, will forward it and banish palm oil from our pantry!

  • Can I move in with you guys? Will work for (getting to spend) time spent with Suryia and Roscoe! What kind of lucky people are you any way? You have such great karma getting to help and take care of special, special animals. We love em too, we have 9 cats. I am in awe! So, so, so cute! Thanks for sharing & caring!

  • This just goes to show that we as humans should get along no matter what ethnicity or background we have.

  • A medical comment: Palm oil and palm kernel oil are two saturated fats that will enhance plaque buildup in a person's arteries. They are best avoided in one's diet, in favor of vegetable oils or fish oils.

  • What a wonderful video! I can't stop smiling - see? :-)

    Seriously, thank you for such a well-done video emphasizing both the lighter side of animal relations and the serious immediate need for intervention in the use of palm oil. In this day and age of synthetic alternatives, there is no valid reason to continue to destroy vital habitat for this silly commodity. THANKS!

  • Friendship is a wonderful thing

  • What a terrific video. I didn't realize that orangutans were an endangered species. I wish these killings of all animals would stop to save the species. I wonder where this video was taken that they could ride and elephant down the sidewalk. Loved it

  • Yes, unfortunately orangutans are one of the most endangered species out there.

    This video was take at the T.I.G.E.R.S. Preserve in Myrtle Beach, SC. You can actually meet Suryia the orangutan (and Bubbles, the elephant he rode on) at the Preserve Tour. The tours do two important things: 1) teach people about wildlife and conservation and 2) actually generate money for conservation efforts. To learn more about the tour and our conservation projects, click on the links to the right of the video.

  • If heaven exists, this is surely it! Thanks for sharing a bit of paradise.

  • I imagine they'd have to be supervised though.  That oragutang looks like he's powerfully strong.

    Nice video!

  • Thanks for helping to spread the word about the gentle and intelligent orangutans being an endangered species. This video is very cute!! I'd love to see an update on these two buddies.

  • That just made my day! Thank you SO very much for posting this!

  • Wow that was cool!

  • Tthe expressions of pure love, peace, and devotion on the faces of the animals and their wonderful humans is just amazing! EXTRAORDINARY! Thanks for posting, and blessings to you for your amazing work.
