The Facebook post says, “Here is something to learn from this monkey. There was a strange phenomenon seen on common busy street. A monkey adopted a pup out of sheer compassion. And he protects the pup from other stray dogs. Seeing this amazing inter- species relationship and love from this guardian Monkey they were given food and there also the Monkey makes sure the pup is stomach full before eating himself. This is amazing example shown by the nature and there is lot to learn from this. Let us all be moved by love and compassion.”

Hands down the cutest thing ever. (Facebook)
