When Renato Borella and his tour guide, Neco, set out on a boat adventure, they had no idea what they would encounter. 

The trip soon turned into a life-saving mission, but that wasn’t the only surprise they witnessed.

As Renato and Neco traveled through the river, they noticed a black animal struggling in the water. 

Initially, they thought it was a dog struggling against the current, so they wasted no time in reacting. However, what happened next left both men in shock.

Neco quickly grabbed a life jacket and threw it towards what they believed was a drowning dog. 

The poor animal saw the floating jacket and began swimming toward it. As the animal approached closer, Renato and Neco made a shocking discovery – a drowning animal wasn’t a dog but a monkey.

The shocking revelation took the rescue mission to a whole new level. As the monkey approached, Neco realized it was a species known for its aggressive behavior. 

Such monkeys, especially males, are notorious for their hostility, especially when feeling threatened. 

Despite that, Renato and Neco refused to give up on the drowning primate. They watched as the monkey held onto the life jacket and swam toward their boat, aware of the potential danger.

However, what happened next surprised everyone. The monkey wasn’t aggressive at all; it was as though he knew he was finally safe.

Everything proceeded without any incidents, but then the monkey did something unexpected – he pointed toward the land.

The men were in disbelief, but quickly realized the monkey just wanted to find his way back to the forest. So, Renato and Neco adjusted their course and steered the boat in the direction the monkey had indicated.

Once on land, the monkey quickly got out of the boat, grabbed onto a nearby tree, and disappeared into the forest, leaving both Renato and Neco in awe.

They were in amazed by what they had experienced. However, the men also felt a huge sense of accomplishment. They not only saved an animal in need, but also experienced a close encounter with the wild world. 

Renato and Neco continued their adventurous journey, eager to share this unusual experience with everyone, leading to this touching story of bravery, compassion and unexpected encounters.
