The inspiration for this blog is the Japanese chimp, Pan-kun. He is the star of his own segment on a Japanese TV show where he is presented with some human activity that he has to master with the help of his bulldog companion, James. I will, over time, link to all the episodes, but for the first post I wanted to link to my favorite. In this clip, Pan-kun has to walk five bulldogs to a cake shop, then he is attacked by a hawk.
I discovered him in the always interesting Japan Probe.
