The last weeks of pregnancy are never easy. For a mother, every step feels heavier, every breath a little slower, and every movement requires courage. For Mom, nearing the end of her pregnancy, the days were becoming more challenging than she had expected. Her husband worked long hours, her parents lived far away, and she was often left with CUTIS—the loyal family dog—and the baby monkey they had adopted months earlier. What no one could predict was how those two unlikely companions would rise to the moment when she needed them the most.
Mom’s Struggle in the Final Weeks
As her belly grew, Mom found it hard to do even the simplest chores. Bending down to pick something up was painful. Getting out of bed required careful effort. Even walking to the kitchen sometimes left her out of breath. She knew the end was near, and excitement mingled with exhaustion.
Yet she also worried constantly—What if something went wrong before help arrived?
Her husband reassured her over the phone, “Don’t worry, love. I’ll come home early if anything happens.” But life doesn’t always wait for perfect timing.
CUTIS the Protector
CUTIS, their golden dog, had sensed the changes from the beginning. Dogs, with their remarkable intuition, always know when something is different. He followed Mom everywhere, never leaving her side. If she shifted uncomfortably on the couch, he laid his head gently on her lap. If she struggled to stand up, he would nudge his body against her legs as support.
The baby monkey, on the other hand, was full of energy and curiosity. At first, Mom thought he might cause more trouble than help. He swung from the curtains, stole fruits from the kitchen, and playfully tugged at CUTIS’s tail. But deep down, the monkey loved Mom dearly. He understood, in his own way, that she was fragile and needed care.
The Unexpected Problem
One hot afternoon, when the house was quiet and her husband was still at work, Mom suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. At first, she thought it was just the usual contractions that had been coming and going. But soon the pain grew stronger and came in waves that made her gasp for air.
She tried to reach her phone, but it had fallen behind the couch earlier when she was resting. Her legs trembled as she attempted to bend and grab it, but she couldn’t. Another contraction hit her, and she cried out, clutching her belly.
CUTIS immediately stood up, alert and restless. His ears perked, and he looked back and forth between Mom and the door, as if asking: What should I do?
The monkey tilted his head curiously at first, but when Mom moaned again, he rushed to her side, holding her arm as though he could ease the pain.
CUTIS Takes Action
Realizing something was terribly wrong, CUTIS darted toward the couch. With surprising cleverness, he pushed his nose and paw behind the cushion until the phone slid out from where it had been trapped. He carefully dragged it across the floor to Mom.
She grabbed it with trembling hands, whispering, “Good boy, CUTIS… good boy.” But when she tried to dial, her strength faltered. Her fingers slipped, and the phone dropped again.
CUTIS barked loudly, the kind of bark that demanded attention—not playful, not casual, but urgent. The baby monkey, understanding the seriousness, snatched the phone and jumped onto the table. With his little fingers, he pressed random buttons. By miracle or instinct, he managed to hit the emergency call shortcut Mom had set up months ago.
The Call for Help
Through the speaker, a voice answered: “Emergency services, how can we help?”
Mom weakly tried to explain, but her voice broke with pain. CUTIS barked again, as though insisting the operator pay attention. The operator could hear the distress and immediately dispatched an ambulance.
Meanwhile, the monkey placed the phone close to Mom’s ear, letting her whisper her address. CUTIS paced anxiously around her, licking her hand to keep her awake.
A Team Effort
Minutes felt like hours. The contractions grew stronger, and Mom feared she might not make it until the ambulance arrived. CUTIS laid beside her, his warm body pressing against her side like a shield of comfort. The baby monkey kept bringing her things—a pillow, a bottle of water, even her scarf—anything he thought she might need.
When she cried out again, the monkey sat right beside her face, softly patting her cheek as though telling her, Stay strong, Mom. We are here.
The Rescue
At last, the sound of sirens broke the silence outside. CUTIS barked loudly and ran to the door, scratching it until the paramedics rushed in. The monkey leapt onto the nearest medic, pulling at his sleeve and guiding him toward Mom.
The paramedics quickly lifted her onto a stretcher. “She’s in active labor—good thing you called when you did,” one of them said.
Mom, though weak, whispered: “It wasn’t me… CUTIS… the monkey… they saved me.”
The medics exchanged astonished glances. They had seen loyal pets before, but rarely anything like this.
A Safe Delivery
Hours later, at the hospital, Mom gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Exhausted but overjoyed, she asked her husband to bring CUTIS and the monkey to meet the new family member.
When they arrived, CUTIS’s tail wagged furiously as he sniffed the newborn gently, his eyes glowing with pride. The monkey peeked curiously at the tiny bundle, then clapped his hands in delight as if celebrating.
Mom stroked their heads and said softly, “I would not be here holding my baby without you two. You are our heroes.”
The Unbelievable Bond
From that day forward, the story of CUTIS and the baby monkey became a legend in their neighborhood. Neighbors couldn’t believe how a dog and a monkey worked together to save their beloved Mom. But Mom knew the truth: love and loyalty transcend species.
Whenever she looked at her son sleeping peacefully, she remembered the terrifying afternoon when she thought she might lose everything—and how her two companions did the unbelievable.
CUTIS had used his intelligence and loyalty to bring her the phone and call for help. The monkey, with his nimble fingers and surprising intuition, had completed the call and comforted her through the pain.
Together, they had proven that family isn’t just about blood—it’s about those who stand by you when you need them most.
Conclusion
The end of pregnancy tested Mom in ways she could never have imagined. Yet, in her darkest moment, she discovered the strength of unexpected allies. CUTIS, the golden protector, and the mischievous yet tender baby monkey rose to the occasion in a way no one thought possible.
Their actions were not only unbelievable but also a reminder of the deep connection humans can share with animals. It was a bond made of loyalty, love, and courage—one that saved two lives that day: Mom’s, and the life of the baby she carried.
And so, the story of how a pregnant Mom faced a big problem at the end of her pregnancy, and how CUTIS and the baby monkey did the unbelievable for her, will forever be remembered in her family’s heart.
