The morning sun painted the sky a soft gold as gentle rays filtered through the trees, waking up the small house where Cutis, the clever golden dog, and his best friend, a tiny orphan baby monkey named Lulu, lived with their beloved mom. It was usually a lively place filled with laughter, barking, and little squeaks — but today felt different.
Mom wasn’t feeling well. She had caught a cold after working long hours outside the day before, and her body was weak and tired. When she tried to get out of bed, her head spun, and she had to sit back down. “Oh dear,” she murmured softly, wrapping a blanket around herself. “I guess I’ll need to rest today.”
But her two loyal little companions noticed right away.
Cutis tilted his head, his golden fur glowing in the morning light. He barked softly, circling near the bed, his tail wagging anxiously. Lulu, still wearing her tiny diaper, climbed onto the bed and touched Mom’s face gently, as if asking, “Are you okay?”
Mom smiled faintly, patting their heads. “I’m okay, my babies. Just need some rest.”
But Cutis and Lulu didn’t believe that for a second. To them, Mom was their whole world — she was the one who fed them, bathed them, and loved them every single day. Now that she was sick, it was their turn to take care of her… and they were going to do it in the most special, unbelievable way.
Cutis’s Plan of Action 🐕💪
Cutis immediately jumped into “protector mode.” He trotted to the kitchen, sniffing around for Mom’s favorite things. He remembered seeing her drink warm tea whenever she didn’t feel well. But how could a dog make tea?
He looked around — the kettle was far too heavy, but there was a water bottle on the counter. Cutis nudged it gently, pushing it toward the table, almost as if setting up something. Lulu followed, curious, her tiny hands grabbing whatever Cutis pointed at.
Together, they made quite the team: one strong and clever, the other nimble and curious.
Cutis barked once, signaling Lulu to follow him. He led her to the living room where Mom’s favorite blanket was folded neatly. Lulu struggled but managed to drag the soft blanket, step by step, all the way to the bedroom.
When they finally reached Mom, she couldn’t help but giggle weakly. “Oh, what are you two up to now?” she whispered.
Lulu climbed onto the bed again and wrapped the blanket around Mom’s shoulders, patting her chest softly like she had seen Mom do for her when she was sick. Cutis sat proudly at the side, tail wagging, as if saying, “See? We can take care of you too!”
Lulu’s Tender Heart 🐒💗
As the day went on, Mom drifted in and out of sleep. Lulu stayed by her side the entire time. She refused to let go of Mom’s hand — or rather, her finger. The tiny monkey curled her little hand around Mom’s finger, refusing to move away even when she was sleepy.
Every time Mom coughed, Lulu’s eyes widened with worry. She would quickly lean in and stroke Mom’s cheek, making soft cooing sounds, her way of saying, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Cutis brought over Mom’s pillow that had fallen on the floor. He pushed it gently toward the bed with his nose, then rested his head beside Mom’s leg, providing warm comfort.
It was such a touching sight — one little monkey and one golden dog, watching over the woman who had saved them both from loneliness.
The Special “Meal” Moment 🍌🥣
By noon, Mom started to feel hungry but didn’t have the energy to get up. She whispered, “I wish I had some soup…”
Lulu immediately perked up. She knew where Mom’s bowl was — and she had seen Mom make meals before. The baby monkey scurried off to the kitchen, her tiny feet tapping against the floor. Cutis followed close behind, like a guard.
They worked together in their own funny way. Lulu climbed onto the counter and spotted some bananas. She picked one, peeled it (with some struggle), and proudly held it up like treasure. Cutis barked softly, as if approving her choice.
When they returned to the bedroom, Lulu placed the banana beside Mom’s hand and gave a little squeak. Mom couldn’t help but laugh, even though she was weak. “You brought me food, Lulu?” she said. “You’re such a thoughtful baby!”
Cutis then trotted out again and returned with a small towel from the bathroom. He laid it gently over Mom’s feet. It was his way of making sure she stayed warm.
To anyone watching, it would have looked unbelievable — a dog and a baby monkey working together, caring for their human mom with such love and thoughtfulness.
The Afternoon Guardian Shift ☀️🐾
When the afternoon sun shone through the curtains, Mom was asleep again. This time, Cutis and Lulu sat quietly beside her like two little guardians.
Cutis occasionally lifted his head to check if Mom was breathing comfortably, while Lulu played gently with a strand of her hair, humming soft monkey sounds.
At one point, Lulu climbed onto Cutis’s back and curled up there, both of them watching over Mom peacefully. Cutis didn’t move at all — he stayed perfectly still, like a statue, afraid to disturb her.
Their bond was more than friendship; it was pure family love.
The Evening Surprise 🌙✨
When Mom finally woke up in the evening, her fever had gone down. She felt warm, comfortable, and — surprisingly — happy. Around her were little signs of care: her favorite blanket neatly tucked, her pillow fluffed, and even the banana she had eaten half of still on the plate beside her.
Cutis wagged his tail the moment she opened her eyes, while Lulu squeaked excitedly, climbing onto her shoulder.
Mom hugged them both tightly. “My babies,” she said softly. “You two really took care of me today, didn’t you?”
Cutis barked proudly, and Lulu clapped her tiny hands in delight.
Then, as if to make the moment even more special, Cutis brought her slipper that had fallen under the bed — one last act of service from her golden guardian. Lulu leaned her head on Mom’s cheek and gave a little kiss.
Tears filled Mom’s eyes. “You two are unbelievable,” she whispered. “The most special family I could ever ask for.”
A Night of Love and Warmth ❤️🐾🐒
That night, instead of sleeping in their usual spots, both Cutis and Lulu refused to leave Mom’s side.
Lulu nestled on Mom’s chest, her tiny hand still holding Mom’s finger. Cutis lay at her feet, providing warmth and protection.
Outside, the crickets sang softly, and the moonlight poured through the window, wrapping them in a peaceful glow.
Mom smiled as she drifted back to sleep, whispering, “Thank you, my babies. You’ve given me more love than I could ever imagine.”
And as the night deepened, the bond between them — woman, dog, and monkey — became stronger than ever. It wasn’t just care; it was unconditional love expressed in the most special, unbelievable way.
Because sometimes, the smallest hearts — covered in fur — can show the greatest love of all. 💗
