A rhesus macaque monkey decided to adopt an adorable puppy in India.
Locals were so surprised after seeing the monkey defend the small dog from strays.
When they gave the monkey some food, they were also stunned to see it letting the dog 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.”
The macaque mother took care of the little pooch as if it were her own.
Locals were so touched that they started leaving food out for the two.
One internet user commented: “I think this is sweet too but the monkey treats the puppet like a baby monkey and that puppy needs to run around – not go up in trees.”
Another wrote: “I hope the locals are intelligent enough to realize that the monkey and dog have totally different diets and nutritional needs.”

A third said: “If everyone can’t see the fear in the puppy, and the OBVIOUS bad state and starvation it’s in…while the monkey looks more than well fed.. I really hope & pray someone stepped in for the puppy, before it’s too late! I love both animals, but, the monkey pretty much kidnapped it as it own and is doing more harm than good (monkeys know how to take of their own, not another animal which is totally different).
”
Someone else added: “My heart melted a bit more, but I am afraid the monkey will drop the dog from a tree.”
