For a long time, some people believed animals only reacted through basic instincts.
But countless experiences between humans and animals have shown something much deeper.
Animals can recognize emotions.
They can form strong bonds.
They can remember kindness.
And they can respond when someone they trust is in trouble.
The gorilla did not understand medicine.
He did not know the words “heart attack.”
He did not understand emergency procedures.
But he understood something important.
The person he trusted was not okay.
And he did what he could.
