It’s a tale straight out of Disney – an abandoned baby monkey, close to death, is revived by the love of a bird.

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.

Oh how wonderful, that picture made me smile. Thanks for sharing that Arty, such a sweet story.

That has to be the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time but has any one noticed that the poor PIgeon has pox on his/her foot?

I saw that Arty....I actually recorded it! How cute is that?
The bird of peace is just sooooo sweet!

I noticed that Matilda,
I can't seem to find anyway of contacting anyone.
I searched for hours yesturday.

Here's my suggestion. Try contacting the Xinhua news agency in China. Their email address is english@xinhuanet.com , and explain what you're trying to do, that the monkey was found on Neilingding Island, in Goangdong Province, and you're trying to find out what animal hospital/sanctuary it was taken to, and how to get in touch with them. I don't find any reference to the story on their site, but they are the official Chinese news agency, and might be able to help.

My only other suggestion would be to contact the UK's Daily Mail newspaper, at helpline@dailymail.co.uk , since it seems that their story is listed as the source for most other articles about this online. They might at least be able to tell you where they got the story from.

Thank you Nate,
Here's a copy of the e-mail I sent out to both addresses you mention yesturday.

Thank Goodness!!!!! Great job.

So far no responce from this e-mail, english@xinhuanet.com
I suppose since the USA and China are having differences again this attempt to help the pigeon will go un-answered...
