I'm sure there are a lot of ways to draw parallels between this story and adoption but I'm too lazy to even get off my duff to start down that trail. But from my armchair, I'll just say that it goes to show that all babies just want to be loved. Period.
The 12-week-old macaque was rescued on Neilingding Island, in Goangdong Province, China, after being abandoned by his mother.
Taken to an animal hospital, he was weaned back to physical health but still showed little appetite for life.
It was not until a fellow patient, a white pigeon, took him under her wing and showed him love and affection that he perked up.
Now the two are inseparable, say staff.
They are not the first odd couple. In March, we told how a tiger cub in China was being raised by a sow along with her piglets because his mother didn't know how to feed him.
And in 2005 Mi-Lu the baby deer became best friends with lurcher Geoffrey at the Knowsley Animal Park, in Merseyside, after being rejected by her mother.

That is just too sweet. I love baby monkeys! Did you see the story about the chihuahua raising the abandoned litter of baby squirrels?? So cute!
