The bond between humans and animals can sometimes be a wonderful thing. As we may all be aware, animals are also capable of feeling belonging as well as loss.
Recently, a short clip from Batticaloa, Sri Lanka, showed a monkey at a funeral of a man who cared for it and used to offer it food.
The video was shared on Twitter and went viral on social media.
The short clip showed the monkey sitting near the man’s body for several minutes, attempting to wake him up. At one point, it picked up the man’s hand and shook it in an attempt to attract the man’s attention.
The monkey’s gesture astounded the man’s grieving family members and relatives who were seen to be visibly surprised.
What a friendship!
Needless to mention, the clip went viral online for the obvious reasons. Netizens were touched after watching the video and shared their thoughts in the comments section of the post.
“And they say (that) animals don’t have feelings.”
“We have so much to learn from them for they understand much more than us,” commented a user.
Another commented, “Unconditional love of the animal world. Human beings have reduced the relationship to need based ones. Very touching sight!”
“We should learn some things from the animals and we should protect them because without animals, life is nothing.” said a user.
