At first it’s a wary encounter between an unlikely duo – but Mubi the baby monkey and Daisy the Jack Russell are really the happiest of playmates. Mubi was rejected by her mother Yola at Port Lympne Reserve in Kent, but now has pups Daisy and Ian for company at the home of  her human carer, Simon Jeffrey. Mr Jeffrey, who is head of the primate section at the reserve, has taken on the role of adoptive father to Mubi, an African drill monkey. New friends: Mubi is introduced to one of Simon's Jack Russell puppies. Mubi was rejected by her mother Yola at Port Lympne Reserve in Kent, but now has pups Daisy and Ian for company
