Sad monkey adopts puppy
After losing its offspring, a monkey in India has started looking after a puppy.
The pair look quite happy together, but it's not they are not the first animals to make unusual companions.
In September last year a 12-week-old macaque monkey made best friends with a pigeon in an animal sanctuary in China.
Also in 2007 a pig adopted a tiger cub and raised him along with her piglets when his mother could not feed him.
Honestly, the puppy doesn't look thrilled by the arrangement.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
