<p>A monkey in the busy Muthuvelen street of Erode district in Tamil Nadu has adopted an abandoned pup after rescuing it from ferocious dogs.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Passers-by are not only curious, but also overcome by emotion as the protective simian does not allow anyone to come near the young one.<br /><br />The monkey immediately undertook the role of a mother by protecting the helpless pup from bigger stray dogs and also feeding what ever food it gets from the passers-by.<br /><br />The “unofficial adoption” took place just couple of weeks back when a newborn puppy was abandoned by his mother. “When there was an unusual barking noise, we came out of our house and saw that a homeless puppy was almost about to be killed by mongrels. However, suddenly a monkey came from a tree nearby and chased away the strays and took the puppy away before rescuing it”, K Srinivasan, an eye-witness of the rare story, said.<br /><br />“Touched by the emotional bond of this mismatched family, we started to feed them biscuits and milk”, he added.<br /><br />The macaque not only made sure to carry her “newly-adopted son” wherever she goes, but also ensures to play with the dog whenever it required.<br /><br />“It (monkey) takes the puppy even to the tree top to play. It is amazing to see the monkey keeping a tight hold on the dog even when she climbs the tree”, K Saradha, a resident and house wife, said.<br /><br />According to Saradha, what ever the monkey gets, it made sure that her “son” eats first and then takes the leftovers.</p>
