Title: Kindred beings
Description: When female chimpanzee Dorothy died in a Cameroon wildlife sanctuary, a YouTube video of Dr. Speede cradling her head while her family viewed her body demonstrated that animals experience complex emotions. In this touching memoir, Speede memoralizes Dorothy's forgiving nature; highlights the endangered status of the apes; and shares her struggle to save them from extinction.
