    TOM and Jerry, Sylvester and Tweety — there have been some unlikely double acts over the years.

    But when a stray dog and an orangutan crossed paths it proved to be a match made in showbiz heaven. living together at the Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, in South Carolina, US, Suryia the orangutan and Roscoe the Blue Tick hound are the best of friends.

    And now they have bagged themselves a slot on a special episode of the Oprah Winfrey show called "Amazing Animal Friendship". Dr Bhagavan Antle, founder of the institute, said: "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 monkey biscuits. ’When they are both feeling a little lazy they will go for a ride on the back of Bubbles our 27-year-old African elephant."
    He added: "We came across Roscoe when we were out walking in woodland near Myrtle Beach. He looked really thin and a little lost so we fed him and took care of him.

    “He 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. We made a few calls to see if he belonged to anyone and when no-one came forward, Roscoe ended up staying.”
