A “pet” primate broke out of the truck where he had been left. The young baboon unlocked the door of the truck and entered the building his “owner” had gone into. The Tower II building’s employees took care of the young baboon, named Able, and were able to track down his “owner” from the tag on one of the dogs who escaped along with the baboon. The other dog was loose and still missing. The baboon’s “owner” stated this incident had never happened before.
