Punch. THE RESCUE

Born in the summer heat of Ichikawa City Zoo, baby macaque Punch was abandoned by his mother before he could take his first steps. The zookeepers gave him many things to hold on to — but only one truly mattered: Oran, a battered orange stuffed orangutan who became his whole world. When Kage, the troop’s dominant male, steals Oran and throws him into the enclosure pool, Punch faces the most brutal night of his young life — beaten, dragged, and outnumbered. But a heart that has never known a mother’s love learns to fight for the only family it has ever had. The smallest heart. The greatest courage.
