Monkey owner wants her pet returned

TORONTO -- The baby monkey found wandering outside a Toronto IKEA store this weekend was so attached to his owner he'd have panic attacks whenever she was out of sight, a woman who considered him part of her family said Tuesday.

Yasmin Nakhuda said she's consulting a lawyer to see if she can regain custody of the "pet" she called Darwin. However, the head of the monkey sanctuary Darwin was sent to by Toronto Animal Services on Monday said the mischievous simian was adjusting well to his new home.
