Bullied Monkey Got Own Guard Dog

Posted by Alex in Animal on November 6, 2008 at 1:15 pm


Keepers at the Jiaozuo City Zoo in China were worried that an orphan monkey was being bullied by bigger primates so they gave it … a guard dog!

After being forced to intervene to save its life several times, they settled upon the trained canine, named Sai Hu, and are happy to report that it has been very successful.

"Whenever the baby monkey gets bullied, he dashes up and drives the others away. And the baby monkey is also very smart. Each time he smells danger he runs to jump on the dog’s back and holds on tight. The alpha male monkey has been really unhappy since we sent in Sai Hu. He tried to organise several ambushes on the little monkey, but they all failed because of the dog," said a zoo spokesman.

    This is an awesome story! I love it. I just wonder why I can't seem to find any kind of an original source. I guess it's the whole translation factor.

    It's like the little kid with the big brother at the school fight. Love it!

    Yeah but the dog won't always be around. However, a knife and knife fighting lessons....

    How did they get the monkey to trust the dog in the first place?

    So many jokes - which one to use? "Looks like he's doin' it doggy style" or "The dog has a monkey on his back"?

    Adorable! But what's weird is that the dog looks A LOT like my dog.
