I admire Boston’s ability to create a friendship between two species. Hanno and Ping form a strong bond and, though I suspect she over-anthropomorphizes Hanno, he still remains a gorilla rather than a strange-looking human. I also admire her ability to confront an insoluble dilemma: Hanno really cannot remain at Green Know forever, and Ping and the zoo keeper really both do want the best for him, and, in many ways, they are both right in their conclusions.
