Monkey delicately pets puppies in possibly the cutest moment in all recorded history [View all]

This capuchin monkey feels the same way about puppies as you do.

In the above video, which was submitted to Reddit, a small monkey tenderly pets a litter of puppies, giving each one a thorough scratching — then, remembering its instincts, stops every so often to check their fur for grubs.

If there was a scale to measure cuteness, this video would register dangerously off the charts.
