So a chimpanzee is this dude's BEST FRIEND?

There was a backstory where Bear rescued BJ when he was in a Vietnam POW camp. I don't know how a chimp got from Africa to Vietnam. Some primates just use sawdust litter boxes, like in Going Ape! Or he could have been toilet trained.

I was being silly and not serious. Love the "Going Ape" reference... Tony Danza was robbed of the Academy Award in that one.
