Monkey Adopts A Puppy, Defends It From Stray Dogs, And Lets It Eat First
Earlier this month, a rhesus macaque monkey adopted an adorable puppy in Rode, India. After watching the monkey defend the little dog from strays, the locals were so impressed that they set out food for the two unlikely friends. To everyone’s surprise, the caretaker monkey was so compassionate that it even let the cute puppy eat first!
“People who have seen the two adorable animals spoke of their strong mutual affection and described this animal friendship as the most caring thing in the world — to take care of a puppy in danger and protect him like a parent,” reports Zee News. “The undying affection of these two animal friends gives us a valuable lesson about relationships.”

Lutetia Vollentine, do you not know how to use google before you post a comment claiming to know something? Grapes ARE poisonous to dogs and cause them to go into kidney failure. You sound like an idiot claiming to know something and calling someone a name for not knowing when you are the one who is wrong, you are the “idiotic dimwit” lol. Your a sad pathetic person. I bet ur the kind of person who thinks they know everything and doesn’t listen to someone when they state facts, you just keep screaming “no, I’m right, ur wrong.” You need to get a grip. Lol wow people are so damn ignorant.

It’s quite the opposite actually, I stayed in South Goa recently, the stray dogs there have their own little patches of the beach and everyone respects them. They come into some of the beach bars and will sleep at your feet and the nobody minds. The locals and tourists give them food sometimes but they don’t beg for it, they are lovely well mannered dogs ❤️
Load More Replies...I am an indian....I live in that town where the image was taken...and that monkey is not protecting the puppy..in turn it is slowly killing it...by throwing the dog from a tall network tower...and also eats everything given to the puppy...and its slowly staving to death...the image shows only few moment where the monkey SEEMS to be protecting...don't believe everything that the caption says...I truly learned a lesson today...the internet is not good way to learn or know something
I think the puppy looks unhappy Poor baby, it needs a human helping it right now. If you live in that town will you rescue it?

Stupid people! Puppy doesn't look happy about it! And dogs can't eat grapes!!! Rescue the dog!
Very common in the Emirates. There's a great documentary about it from ARTE (french/german TV station). They state that amongst pavians there's a habit of stealing another mother monkeys baby if the own died. They probably just did that with puppies. But interesting in deed
I've watched a documentary where when their babies die they encroach into human settlement and even steal human infants during their grief

I think it is a sweet idea, but the pup looks miserable. Sure it isn't more like kidnapping? Monkey can't know what the pup can eat.
