Punch the Monkey was loved because he was tiny, rejected, and still trying.
Abandoned by his mom and shoved around by bigger macaques, he dragged an IKEA orangutan plush everywhere like it was the only family he had.
That mix of baby-cuteness, loneliness we all recognize, and stubborn resilience hit people hard.
He made millions root for the underdog who just wanted a hug.
Its not like hes dead, punch continues to go viral
thats why we will run
