Monkey Loves Pigeon
Dateline: Thursday, 13 September, 2007
A heartwarming story from China: The abandoned monkey who has found love with a pigeon.
LOVE AND KINDNESS…TRANSCEND ALL
They’re an odd couple in every sense but a monkey and a pigeon have become inseparable at an animal sanctuary in China. The 12-week-old macaque - who was abandoned by his mother - was close to death when it was rescued on Neilingding Island, in Goangdong Province.
After being taken to an animal hospital his health began to improve but he seemed spiritless - until he developed a friendship with a white pigeon. The blossoming relationship helped to revive the macaque who has developed a new lease of life, say staff at the sanctuary.
