The video started like any other playful day on the farm. The camera zoomed in on the cheerful baby monkey named Coco, who had become a beloved member of the household. His playful antics, clever expressions, and undeniable cuteness had earned him a growing fanbase online. Alongside him, as always, was CUTIS—a kind-hearted but occasionally clumsy farmer who had taken Coco in after rescuing him from the wild.
CUTIS and Coco shared a deep bond. They ate together, played together, and even napped together under the big mango tree near the house. Every day brought new adventures for the duo, and CUTIS often captured their joyful moments on video. But no one could have predicted that one of these recordings would capture a devastating turn of events.
The video compilation opens with a few light-hearted clips. Coco clumsily chasing butterflies in the grass. CUTIS building a small swing for Coco in the backyard. The baby monkey giggling as he clings to CUTIS’s shirt while riding on the back of a scooter. These moments made everyone smile.
But then the tone of the video changes.
The screen fades to black for a second before fading in again to a scene filmed just a few days earlier. It was supposed to be an ordinary day. CUTIS had been repairing a wooden shelf in the shed while Coco was playing nearby. The tools were scattered on the floor, including a small hammer and a heavy toolbox. CUTIS had always been careful, but on this day, he was in a rush.
Coco, curious as always, crept closer to see what CUTIS was doing. He reached for a shiny bolt on the edge of the table. CUTIS, unaware, stood up quickly and accidentally bumped the toolbox with his foot. It wobbled on the edge of the workbench—then fell.
The video captures the heart-stopping moment. The toolbox lands with a loud crash. Coco screams.
CUTIS spins around in horror. Coco is lying still on the ground, one tiny leg pinned underneath the box. The camera shakes as CUTIS rushes to lift it off him. His voice breaks as he calls Coco’s name over and over. The baby monkey doesn’t respond immediately. The screen cuts to black again.
The next segment is filmed in the veterinary clinic. Coco lies on a small table, bandaged and sedated. A vet speaks softly to CUTIS, explaining that Coco’s leg is fractured but that he’ll recover with proper care. CUTIS nods silently, his eyes red and puffy from crying.
He keeps repeating, “I should have been more careful… It’s my fault.”
The video then shows CUTIS sitting beside Coco’s cage at home, feeding him with a syringe and gently stroking his head. Coco is awake but weak. He clings to CUTIS’s finger, not with fear, but with trust. Even in pain, he knows his human didn’t mean to hurt him.
Over the next few clips, the tone slowly begins to shift again—this time toward healing. CUTIS builds a small padded enclosure where Coco can rest without straining his injured leg. He stops all his farm work and devotes his days to Coco’s recovery.
One clip shows CUTIS gently massaging Coco’s leg with warm compresses. In another, he sings softly to him while feeding him mashed bananas. Day by day, Coco grows stronger.
But it’s not easy. There are nights where CUTIS breaks down in front of the camera, whispering apologies. “I don’t know how to forgive myself,” he says in one clip. “He trusted me. And I let him down.”
Viewers around the world begin flooding the comment sections with support. “It was an accident, CUTIS. Your love for Coco is clear.” Others send donations to help with Coco’s treatment. The video continues to document Coco’s journey—physiotherapy sessions, short walks on soft grass, and even his first attempt to climb back onto CUTIS’s shoulder.
The moment that touched hearts the most comes near the end of the compilation. CUTIS sits on the porch, his eyes closed in exhaustion. He doesn’t see Coco approaching slowly, limping but determined. The baby monkey crawls into CUTIS’s lap and curls up, resting his head on his chest. CUTIS opens his eyes, surprised—and then he cries.
“I thought you wouldn’t trust me again,” he whispers, holding Coco close. “But here you are.”
The final scene in the video shows Coco—now stronger and more energetic—hopping around in the backyard. His limp is still there, but his spirit is untouched. CUTIS watches him with a gentle smile, a mixture of joy and guilt still in his eyes. The bond between them has grown even deeper through the pain they’ve shared.
As the credits roll, the words appear on the screen:
“Accidents happen, even to the most careful of us. What matters most is how we take responsibility, how we heal, and how we continue to love.”
The video compilation went viral within hours. It sparked conversations about animal care, responsibility, and the emotional strength of both animals and their caregivers. Many viewers said they cried while watching it, not just because of the pain Coco experienced—but because of the way CUTIS handled it with honesty and tenderness.
CUTIS later shared a message on his social media:
“This experience changed me. I’ll never stop feeling guilty for that moment, but I’m grateful Coco is still with me. I promise to be even more careful, and to never take our time together for granted.”
Coco is now well on the road to recovery. He still plays, still cuddles, and still climbs onto CUTIS’s shoulder every morning as they go about their daily routine. The scar on his leg is a reminder of that dark day—but it’s also a symbol of resilience, of love, and of second chances.
The compilation video wasn’t just about an accident. It was about a journey—of pain, of healing, and of the unwavering bond between a baby monkey and the man who loved him enough to face his own mistakes and grow from them.
