Monkey saves puppy? Monkey saves puppy! »
I saw this picture and had to share it! It’s a damn MONKEY holding a PUPPY! Can you handle it? It’s actually a downer as the monkey is said to be saving the puppy from the terrible pipeline explosion that just happened in Nanjing, China. Several people died and a ton of people were injured. But the monkey saved the puppy!
Do we have any readers in China? I can’t get any info on this besides the picture. What’s the deal with this monkey? What’s he wearing? It’s either some sort of contraption to keep him captive or he’s totally into S&M.
There’s not even that much info online about the accident at all but according to Time.com, this is one of a growing number of industrial accidents in China. This is especially interesting because I didn’t know Time still existed. Time also has pictures of a recent oil spill in China, though not a single one addresses any animals that may have been affected.
Moral of the story: monkey saves puppy!
UPDATE! There’s evidence that the picture is from 2008? WTF? NowPublic.com is lying to me! Why does everyone lie to me?! Well there was a pipeline explosion and there was an oil spill but as far as monkeys saving puppies, the jury is out.
New moral of the story: WTF and can anyone shed light on this?

» WE'RE ALL GOING TO INDIA
OMFG this sounds incredible. VegNews is hosting a 12-day, 11-night tour of India, and it’s ALL VEGAN, which means no complicated internal debates about whether or not you can hang with eating ghee in a country that reveres its cows. We’ll start out in Delhi (and I’m saying “we” because WE’RE ALL GOING TO INDIA) and tour the state of Rajasthan. We’ll visit national parks and animal sanctuaries, stay in villages and palaces, haggle in bazaars, and sleep on an overnight train until the locals get fed up with our hijinks and kick us off in the middle of nowhere like in The Darjeeling Limited. Don’t worry, it’ll be great. It costs $1,295 for everything but airfare, so about $100 per day, or less than what you’d spend trying to cobble together that much awesome for 12 days anywhere else.
Check out the itinerary or read the bullet points from VegNews:
• Stay at a Maharajah’s palace
• Dine at the best veg eateries in India
• Meander through colorful bazaars
• Learn Indian history
• Sleep on a world-famous overnight train
• Enjoy daily yoga classes in stunning settings
• Take a rickshaw through bustling city streets
• Visit an animal sanctuary
• Hike a national park teeming with wildlife
• Have dinner with a local family
• Stay in a picturesque village

• And so much more!
