## Resource

A tiny orphaned monkey named Punch, raised by zookeepers with a plushie in hand, turned one and stole the world’s heart. Now thriving among 50 other monkeys, his journey from lonely newcomer to troop member sparked global adoration — with 2,500 birthday cards, viral hashtags, and an exhibit celebrating his resilience. Punch’s story isn’t just cute; it’s a powerful reminder of how compassion, community, and a little stuffed toy can turn a tiny struggle into a worldwide feel-good triumph.
