Pet monkey fear the dog

A captive wooly monkey is tied to a post in the indigenous community of El Remanso, in the Guainia region of Colombia. The animal is being kept as a pet after people took him from the forest and its new environment impresses the scared primate. One of the most scary things the monkey sees is dogs, which bark at it and with no refuge it hides behind a wooden wall where other primates are kept.
