The monkey Punch story that’s been going viral lately 🐒
The monkey who stays by Punch’s side and protects him is named Go-chan.
Go-chan grew up in a circus, but he couldn’t fit in with the troop.
He was bullied by other monkeys, and with a body hurt by stress,
he eventually came to the zoo where Punch now lives.
I can’t help but feel that the reason Go-chan was the first to reach out and hug Punch—who had been lonely—
is because they sensed how similar their situations were.
That’s how it feels to me.
The bond between these two has lasted a long time, and they support each other.
Everyone, please watch over them warmly 🤍
