Buddy
by William Joyce
Her chimps played croquet. Her dachshund wore eyeglasses. Her gorilla has his own refrigerator. Welcome to the world of Gertie Lintz, a woman who loved animals--and knew just how to pamper them. But when she adopts Buddy, an orphaned baby gorilla, her life is turned upside down. Based on the fascinating true-life story of a remarkable woman, "Buddy" is the heroic tale of the power of love.
