In an unlikely interspecies friendship, a pregnant dog seems to have “adopted” an orphaned baby monkey in northern India.
Locals in the state of Himachal Pradesh poisoned the newborn’s parents for allegedly destroying their crops, leaving the poor 10-day-old monkey to fend for himself. Luckily, the mother-to-be’s maternal instinct took over, and the dog eagerly became the creature’s new caretaker.
Photographer Prakash Badal was in the area to photograph birds when he noticed the duo, who are featured in this viral video.
“Although sometimes there are conflicts between monkeys and dogs,” Badal told Daily Mail, “the relationship of a mother is more important. This type of relationship is a lesson for humans who have become selfish and kill each other just because [they are] from another cast or religion.”
Animals, like this baby monkey and his new guardian, can teach us about kindness and compassion.
What’s New…
Good question, I also wonder who is taking care of these animals
ANIMALS HEARTS ARE BIGGER THAN MOST HUMANS…THEY ARE AMAZING CREATIONS BY GOD
Why be PC on this? thats whats creating more and more abuse of our env, our animals, wildlife, etc. STOP BEING PC! Killing wildlife is unacceptable and those that poisoned them should be jailed. Keeping stuff like this from kids is wrong. And family friendly? really? Humans are the reason this planet is being destroyed.
I don’t trust this video as truth. It looks like the dog may have been drugged.
Instead of these uncivilized village idiots murdering innocent animals, they’d better be worried about their own mortality and survival from this coronavirus-19. Don’t these two-legged creatures have any ingenuity or creativity to protect their crops from so-called destruction. Put a damn fence or other barriers around those crops. Animals don’t know that they’re not supposed to touch them. This backwards world is full of mindless fools just taking up space and air.
Animals are so beautiful in spirit. Wish humans could be more like them.
the dog needs rescuing and then spaying and the monkey needs a sanctuary and other monkeys around.

We can learn a lot from thus dog and monkey. 🐶🐕🐵🐒🐾❤❤❤
Les humains sont souvent tellement monstrueux que les animaux peuvent être des exemples à suivre.
Ce qui me rassure c’est que la Nature sera toujours plus forte que l’humain….
What a sweet mummy dog. As for the evil vastards who killed the baby monkeys parents I hope KARMA comes soon!
Wonderful example to us humans!!!
Så bra
Animals are better than people.
Couldn’t those Indians fence their crops? How cruel and completely imbecilic, ignorant monsters. I hope someone takes care of this poor mommy dog and the orphan monkey, someone that is just as compassionate and intelligent as this loving dog.
wow, what a story, poisoning the poor soul parents because they were hungry that’s ignorant. how about share and be kind. The ideal thing is to do the same to these selfish creatures. Treat others the way you want to be treated,
That is 1 calm dog, Who takes care of the dog?
Good question, I also wonder who is taking care of these animals

Why is it that the answer to all wildlife- human conflicts is shoot, stab, blowup, trap, poison, and dismember? Human beings are lazy, impatient, self centered and stupid.
How terribly sad. What an example this dog shows. I hope the dog is safe. Looks like she is a bit near the edge of the building. Hope the poor monkey is kept safe.
Because it is ALWAYS the answer as far as humans are concerned. Most humans suck.
