Shocking moment monkey kidnaps a DOG and leaps across rooftops with the ... trends now
Heart-stopping footage has caught the moment a monkey kidnapped a dog.
The small dog with black and white fur was grabbed by a monkey twice its size in Parkota, in Jaipur, India on Saturday, March 18.
Video footage filmed by a bystander shows people standing on the road watching the monkey crawling on the roof of a red house with the helpless dog in his arms.
The dog was flapping its legs as the monkey set it down on the roof for a second, only to grab it again and take off with his four-legged prey in his arms.
The thieving monkey jumped from the roof to an adjacent balcony and from there to another building as onlookers are laughing in the background. Once the monkey and the dog are out of sight, the footage cut out.

The monkey kidnapper is just one of many 'menaces' plaguing the city, locals said.
It isn't the only monkey who has caused chaos in India, as just a few weeks ago, a 70-year-old woman was killed after she was attacked by a pack of rampaging monkeys and slipped and hit her head on the floor as she was trying to escape them.
In 2021, the mother of eight-day-old twins claimed her babies had been snatched by ferocious monkeys, with one of the little girls killed and the other rescued.
In 2020, a mother and four of her children were crushed to death at their home in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, after a wall was brought down by a troop of monkeys.
The five victims were killed by falling masonry after the wall was 'violently shaken' by monkeys while the family slept in the courtyard.
In 2019, a 50-year-old man died in Sambhal after falling from a terrace at his home when he was attacked by monkeys.
Reports at the time said it was the sixth monkey-related death in Sambhal during 2019 alone.
Just months earlier, a one-and-a-half-month-old infant was killed by a monkey which apparently jumped into her cot to steal her milk bottle.
Also in the same year a monkey killed a 60-year-old man and injured nine others after going on the rampage through a town in central
