Laurel, Hardy & Toga
This is the sad story of two seals Laurel & Hardy :
A NATIONWIDE search has been launched to find a new mate for a seal who’s former partner was swept away during a storm. Laurel, a common or harbour seal, spent nearly 20 years with partner Hardy at St Andrews Aquarium until he vanished last March. Now staff are hoping they can find a new companion who shares the lonely seal’s love of swimming and seafood.
Both Laurel and Hardy were brought to the centre after being rescued from the wild, in Laurel’s case because he mother had fallen ill. Hardy disappeared after severe storms hit the area last spring. Horrified staff watched as waves lashed the animals’ outdoor pool before they suddenly realised the male seal was nowhere to be seen. The animal had not been seen since and Laurel has become increasingly withdrawn, despite staff attempting to cheer her up with lots of attention.
Now this is the happy story of Laurel & Togo :) :

Laurel seems quite a character so it's good she's now got a new buddy to keep her company, she deserves that :)

Re: Laurel, Hardy & Toga
WOW that is some determined lady I wonder if there was an element that she thought it may be Hardy.
A sad beginning to the story but a wonderful ending. I hope they will be happy for a long time together. Lets just hope that Hardy is ok somewhere too
