Gertrude raises Buddy like a civilized human, but can--or, rather, should--wild animals be civilized? Based on the True Story of Gertrude Lintz, the most famous dog breeder of the 1930s, Buddy is a moving, high-spirited adventure about a gorilla\'s life in the city, and how the urban jungle can\'t really compare to a real one..
Except there was one difference: The baby was actually a baby gorilla named Buddy.
But one baby was her favorite, and she took care of this baby just like any other mother would.
And she had dozens, never mind that she lived in New York City.
Gertrude Lintz loved animals.
