Something else to make you smile

I've just read about the Orang Utan and the dog who are going to appear on Oprah Winfrey soon. There are lovely photos with that article and the postures of the Orang Utan are so human it is amazing. I love the photo of the two cuddling, that surely could be a human and his/her dog.

I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised at two different species getting along well together; how many dogs live happily with cats, rabbits, horses, poultry and so on? The dog and Orang Utan don't know they are any more different than a dog and a cat, do they? But they do make a sweet couple nonetheless.

If you haven't quite had your fill of cute canine primate photos there another one here. I shall keep a look out for that episode of Oprah Winfrey, they look as of they'll talk a lot more sense than some of the celebrities she interviews.

Take care,
