Monkey finds abandoned puppy, adopts it as her own and protects it from other stray dogs

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 121

If you’re a lover of animals like me, you’ve probably witnessed or heard about some unusual animal friendships before. Well let me tell you that this particular animal friendship is something I’ve never seen before.

There lives a rhesus macaque monkey in the city of Erode, India. He looks like any other monkey, except about one special thing. This monkey seems to have adopted a puppy.

Erode city locals were at a loss for words when they saw this monkey defend his adopted puppy from stray dogs that were trying to attack him. When the locals decided to give the monkey and puppy food, the locals were stunned yet again when they witnessed the monkey let the puppy eat first.

    A story I read earlier spoke of a very young puppy whose mother died and was cared for by a cat, a tabby as one of her own and now we see another puppy cared for by a rhesus monkey as though it were her baby!

    This reenforces my belief that dogs are angels that chose paws and fur over wings!

    The other animals seem to know this too!!
