    Village Dog Adopts A Wild Monkey

    Mar. 9 - A village dog adopts a wild monkey and the two become inseparable.

    When severe flood waters hit northern Mozambique in 2002, causing misery and extensive damage to property and crops, many animals were left to fend for themselves. But villagers in Caia witnessed a bizarre friendship between a dog and a monkey.

    A skinny dog emerged from the bush with a tiny monkey clinging to its back.

    The villagers have named the pair Billy and Kiko, and they've been inseparable ever since.

  • awww! what a cute story - I *heart* this video. They've been together over 5 years? that's pretty amazing. I really appreciate the respect for their autonomy that the folks in the village have shown toward them.

  • I know.  This story inspires both some gushy emotions and awe in me.
