Well, we’re told that we shouldn’t become emotionally involved with any of our patients in veterinary medicine. That’s impossible because you do get emotionally involved. And I became specifically involved with some of the primates. We had chimpanzees at the Sacramento Zoo, and one of those chimpanzees hated me with a passion. It was a male chimpanzee and he would throw feces at me whenever he got the chance. His cage mate female essentially loved me. Through a glass enclosure, she would come over and kiss through the glass. Joey would come in and hit the glass, trying to get at me.
