In India, maltreatment of monkeys by humans is a common occurrence.This infant was destined for death. Thankfully, help came just in time.
Indian photographer Prakash Badal came across the unusual shot while on business in Himachal Pradesh. A little monkey cub, who seemed to be no older than 10 days old, was found clinging to a stray dog along the road. The photographer was informed by the locals that the monkey’s mother had been poisoned to protect the harvest. This frequently happens in India, where a big monkey population is one of the most significant agricultural problems.
Without milk and his mother’s protection, the cub was bound to die. He was saved, nevertheless, by a stray dog that was ready to give birth to puppies. Now they live together with an unusual couple. The dog eats and shares his food with the cub. They also play, sleep, and explore the city’s streets together. According to Prakash, such relationships between monkeys and dogs are unusual since these animals are more inclined to engage in conflict than form close bonds. Though it was a child of a different species, it appears that instinct kept the expectant woman from passing by an orphaned child.
It’s uncertain how the arrival of the puppies will affect family dynamics. But for now, no living being is more valuable to the young. It’s uncertain how the arrival of the puppies will affect family dynamics. But for the time being, this dog is the most priceless creature to the baby monkey.
