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.

Zee News reported,
“People who have seen them spoke of their strong mutual affection and described their bond as the most caring thing in the world — to take care of a puppy in danger and protect him like a parent. Their undying affection gives us a valuable lesson about relationships.”
What did you think? Aren’t they just the cutest? We want to hear your thoughts. Let us know in the comments below!
Please SHARE this adorable monkey and puppy with your friends and family.

For the record it’s a very primitive form of farming. Those monkeys do this all the time, to have a food source with them for when food is scarce.

Too bad a lot of humans don’t protect all animals. If you don’t protect a helpless animal you don’t deserve to be called human.

This is SO great! Animals always take care of their young, even adopted young. Is there a lesson to be learned here from some humans?
