Early one soft morning, Daddy received a call that would change his heart forever — a newborn baby monkey, only a day old, had been found abandoned and weak, his umbilical cord still attached. Without hesitation, Daddy hurried to bring the tiny life home, determined to give him the care and love he desperately needed.
When he arrived, the sight broke his heart. The baby monkey was so small he could fit in a single palm. His fur was barely visible, his eyes still closed, his breathing soft and shallow. The umbilical cord hung gently from his belly — a fragile reminder of how new he was to the world. He was a miracle of life, and yet, so close to its edge.
