Chennai, Dec 15 (SocialNews.XYZ) An eight-month-old monkey that was saved by a cab driver from a pack of dogs and to which he gave mouth to mouth resuscitation, passed away shattering the 38-year-old driver, Prabhu.
On December 9, Prabhu found the little monkey being attacked by a pack of dogs and the monkey immediately lost consciousness after several bite injuries on its body.
While taking the monkey to a veterinary hospital, he found that its breathing had slowed down and he tried to resuscitate it by breathing into its mouth. The video of Prabhu resuscitating the monkey went viral on social media.
Prabhu after providing initial treatment handed over the monkey to Perambalur forest department and came to know that the monkey died after a day.
