Dog adopts orphaned monkey after its mother was poisoned

Heart-warming images show a heavily pregnant dog who seems to have adopted an orphaned baby monkey after its mother was poisoned.

The infant monkey can be seen hugging and playing around the dog, as the mother-to-be seems to be enjoying having him around.

Photographer Prakash Badal 48, snapped the images while visiting Chakki Mor, Solan in Himachal Pradesh, northern India, initially planning to photograph birds.

He said: 'The monkey infant seemed to be about 10 days old when locals poisoned the adult monkeys because it is said they are destroying their crops.
