Saw the obit thread for the smoking chimp on the same day that I saw this announcement about the deceased runaway....

Oh for goodness sake; what a pair! I am glad they had good long lives together.

I've visited the Rare Breeds Centre a few times with my grandson and always made a point of seeing Butch & Sundance - I've got a few photos of them somewhere. What a shame Butch has now gone to that great pigsty in the sky, although he did have a pretty comfortable last few years. I wonder if Sundance will miss him as they did seem to be pretty close.

Arnie - according to the BBC report at the link I posted, Butch was a sow and Sundance her litter brother, and staff at the Rare Breeds Centre do think he'll miss her because they'd always been together.
