Looks like dogs owned us before we owned them!! Really nice photos of dogs sharing the love with our relatives.

Geez it must be me, but i see lonely, traumatized monkeys that are seeking social bonding with someone, anyone that will accept them.
Notice most of the smaller monkeys have string tied to their waist? Taken from their mothers too young and with no social groups. Notice the great apes don't seem as distressed?
Sad really. :(

I had an olive baboon I raised from an infant that LOVED to ride my big GSD, Colonel. But Josh, the baboon, didn't lay down like a baby on the mother's back. He actually sat straight up, hands gripping Colonel's collar ,his feet down like a jockey on a race horse. Colonel kept Josh in line when the 'baboon' in Josh would get the best of him and he'd try to rule the roost. On the other hand, when I told Josh to "mount up", Colonel would rumble a playful growl and,with mouth wide open, reach back to grab Josh. So, being the intelligent creature he was, Josh would place his right hand against the side of Colonel's face and push the dog's big head around, preventing the dog's mouth from contacting him, as he vaulted onto Colonel's back. ( I taught Josh to mount from Colonel's right side, as the dog was on my left).Then we'd go for a walk to the woods. (incidentally, Josh was not leashed when I had him out for our walks with Colonel or when I took Josh for searches for grubs and grasshoppers, blackberries, and wild cherry plums, persimmons.)
BTW, Josh weighed forty five pounds and, standing on two legs, was about forty inches tall, stronger than most average humans.
The two of them were a blast watching them play in the woods by the creek. Josh would follow behind Colonel, walking on all fours...then he would go into his "I'm a bad ass" saunter mode, rush in at Colonel's hind legs for a mock surprise attack on the unsuspecting dog's hocks.
Colonel would wheel around, roaring in retaliation, Josh would scream (half delight, and half panic) and come running to me and hide behind my legs, like a kid at home base. Colonel knew Josh was out of bounds and would stand in front of me, bellowing his deep barks at Josh, cussing him out. I'd tell them "enough of this, behave you guys," and our nice walk would resume....until The whole thing was repeated.
The above pictures show where the term "monkey crouch" came from, referring to the jockey's position on a race horse.

Dragon, they socialize with dogs even when they are still with their monkey families. It's a natural affinity monkeys and dogs have with each other. A lot of those monkeys look pensive and content, but people will interpret what they want.....and that's ok.

LOL, I think my favorite is the chimp with the bulldog.

Would be nicer if that chimp wasn't wearing 'human'
clothes, though.
I agree with 'Fry, there are far too many apes and monkeys
kept as 'pet' animals, in circumstances that do not bear
close scrutiny. It is lovely if they bond with a dog they come
into contact with - but they usually shouldn't be there in the
first place.

Yeah, CALL THE COPS, CALL HSUS, CALL PETA, CALL ARISTA, HURRY, HURRY....That Japanese Snow macaque Napping on the Kai is in imminent danger! (sarcasm) parrots should all be released, all horses should be released, all canaries released, laws should be passed to release the fish into the wild and close down all aquariums (public and private) And next, all dogs and cats should be released into the wild..after all, they were originally wild creatures at one time. PC, BS!
But, that's OK, 'cause I'm OK , you're OK. LOL FWIW, I saw a one year old chimp, at a friend's house, pick up a shoe from the peoples' two year old son, sit down on the floor and proceed to try his damnedest to put that shoe on his own foot. And that chimp had never been dressed in clothes, human or other wise.
Imitation. Same way orangutans at a sanctuary in Sumatra will mimic human behavior. Of corse, on the other side of that coin is humans mimicking monkeys....such as wimmen wearing colorful eye and face makeup to resemble for all intents and purposes a Mandrill's face, and consequently the ass of a female Mandrill in estrus. ROTFL.
