The amazing true story of the orphaned baby hippo named Owen and 130-year-old giant turtle named Mzee whose remarkable friendship touched millions around the world.

Now they are inseparable, swimming, eating, and playing together. Adorable photos e-mailed from friend to friend quickly made them worldwide celebrities. Here is a joyous reminder that in times of trouble, friendship is stronger than the differences that too often pull us apart.
