Junior’s Furry Sidekick Goes Viral: The Unusual Love Story of a Spider Monkey and Her Owner

Ticky, a 3-year-old spider monkey, has been bringing joy to both her owner and people in The Bronx. She enjoys accompanying her owner, Junior, from the Bronx-based CBC Automotive on his jobs. According to Junior, he has always dreamed of having a monkey since he was a child, and Ticky has made that dream come true.

Ticky is no stranger to attracting attention. She recently became viral after a video of her playing around in Junior’s work truck was shared online. While Junior enjoys the attention she receives, he also admits that it can be overwhelming at times. People are often eager to take pictures or videos with his unusual pet, and Ticky seems to enjoy the spotlight.

The video that went viral showed Ticky gleefully exploring the truck and checking herself out in the side-view mirror. She is a clingy monkey who loves being around Junior at all times. He describes her as overprotective and notes that she always wants to be close to him. He mentions that monkeys are like babies and need a lot of time and attention.

Ticky splits her time between New York and Florida because of the weather. While Florida allows monkeys to be kept as pets with a special permit, monkeys are not allowed in New York City. Junior and Ticky’s bond is clear, and they make quite the pair as she dons a diaper and explores the world with her loyal owner by her side.

Junior’s love for monkeys started when he was just a child watching TV shows featuring them. From then on, he knew that one day he would have his own little furry friend by his side.

When Ticky first arrived in Junior’s life, she quickly became an integral part of his daily routine.

She loves accompanying him on jobs and would often sit on his shoulders while he drove around town.

People couldn’t help but notice how adorable she looked perched on top of him.

However, as time went on, Ticky started getting more attention than Junior ever anticipated.

One day while running errands with her in tow, someone took a picture of them together without their consent.

It quickly went viral online, catapulting Ticky into fame overnight.
