Lucky is an orphaned monkey rescued by forest ranger Phan Sau in central Vietnam. His story shows how a caring rescuer can turn a sad accident into hope for wildlife.

Lucky’s mother was killed by a car on the La Son‑Tuy Loan Expressway near Bach Ma National Park, leaving him alone. Forest ranger Phan Sau rescued Lucky and brought him to the park’s wildlife rescue center. Sau gave intensive care, feeding the baby monkey milk sip by sip.

Sau took Lucky home each night to feed him, and they formed a close bond. Lucky now recognizes Sau’s green uniform and leaps into his arms. The rescue team teaches Lucky survival skills for future release, while staff members and a local sponsor provide milk, fruit and toys.

Director Nguyen Vu Linh says rescued animals like Lucky will be trained for release once they reach adulthood. This shows that dedicated rescuers can give orphaned wildlife a chance to live again in the wild.
