Monkey’s Playdate? Tiny Pup Finally Freed in Malaysia
In a plot twist that could’ve come straight out of a blockbuster, a stray puppy in Malaysia broke out of a three‑day kidnapping by an adventurous primate. The rescue operation felt a little like a live‑action King Kong sequel – but the only “giant” was a curious monkey, and the hero was a very determined group of online netizens.
The Abduction Begins
- September 15 – The first clue to the puppy’s escape arrives from Zeirie Zack Mzy, who posts a photo on a Facebook group. The image shows a monkey—charming, yet mischievous—balancing on utility lines with the pup perched like a reluctant passenger on a playground ride.
- Over the next few days, the kidnapping tightens its grip. The same monkey, still the same star performer, carries the little black‑and‑white buddy without a care in the world.
- September 18 – Another user steps into the picture, uploading photos that catch the monkey cuddling its “tired but unharmed” companion. The pup appears content, or at least hopeful.
Rescue and Reaction
The comments explode with concern and humor. One commenter, half‑saddened, half‑wry, writes, “Poor puppy, please someone do something.” And no one else was idle: netizens brainstorm daring plans, discuss potential heroes, and pray for a swift intervention.
In the end, the story ends on a high note: a brave figure steps in, frees the little pup from the monkey’s clutches, and lets the canine strut back home. The rescue proves that even the most unexpected pairs can make way for friendship… and a bit of online solidarity!

Operation Rescue Gets Rolling
- The local community sprang into action, darting through dense foliage to recover the pup.
- Within an hour, they managed a textbook rescue, cupping the exhausted but alive puppy in a striped blanket.
- Thanks to the quick response, the furball was saved from a potentially disastrous fate.
Insights from the Frontline Hero
Francis Poh, a 39‑year‑old seasoned rescuer who’s dealt with both pets and wildlife for years, was interviewed by Oriental Daily News. He admitted that when he first saw the viral “kidnapping” footage, he believed it was a prank. The truth behind the scenes? Locals had tried bribing the monkey with fruit, but the beast was stubborn.
Instead of yielding, the primate continued its mission, prompting Francis to step in. According to him, the monkey’s actions were a mix of curiosity and a misguided attempt to keep a “little friend.”
Post‑Rescue Care and a New Name
Following the rescue, Facebook user Cherry Lew Yee Lee shared further updates, revealing the puppy has been adopted and christened Saru—meaning “monkey” in Japanese, a nod to its unlikely savior.
- The pup is now under veterinary care, slowly healing from minor injuries.
- Cherry urged viewers to refrain from blaming the monkey, emphasizing that it likely feels depressed and lonely, being the only one of its kind in the area.
