It is Saturday so i hope people are in a forgiving mood because I so want to share this story with you.It should start your day with a smile.
A golden monkey (actually i think Daily Mail got it wrong and it is a Rhesus Macaque but not certain )mom in India almost lost her baby when it was hit by a moped, as she was going to it, a wild dog came along...you can imagine what he wanted. Well mom was having no part of it!!!
In an act of ferocious devotion she grappled with the dog, biting it on its back to drive it away before picking up her little one.
Follow me below the fold for more pics and info on this
Wild monkeys often go into the city to scavenge for food in India, some of the most beautiful are Golden Monkey's. In this case, a moped driver struck a baby, as it lay on the pavement dazed, mom went to its rescue.
Just as she was pulling him towards her a a wild dog who obviously thought he had found an easy dinner came running. Well mom was in no mood to permit further harm to her little one, as you can see she stepped in and used her strength and teeth to hold off the dog. The pic in the intro is after she got to the dog, there are two before:
Taking the baby to safety
Runs to the dog to chase him off
The dog realizes it is losing this battle!
As i mentioned in the intro, i believe the article is incorrect and this is a rhesus macaque, here is a picture for comparison.
All that aside, this is a wonderful example of mother love!
Happy Saturday :)
