Injured Squirrel Rescued By Unlikely Friend :-)

The surest way to judge a man’s heart is to see how he treats the creatures smaller than he is. This warrant officer clearly has a heart of gold in that case, because when he came across a dying squirrel, he didn’t just save its life – he became its lifelong best friend.
This is guaranteed to make anyone melt.

Two soldiers brought a dying squirrel to this warrant officer, who decided to try to help the little guy out.



Three months after the rescue, he left the army and became a taxi driver. Now his little squirrel goes with him everywhere.



He even has a very cozy looking bed.

1. I like the ear hair (on the squirrel).

It looks good on him, unlike my own ear hair...

8. Oh, how wonderful!

I have a real soft spot for Squirrels anyway. What a great guy.

When I was working in Madison, on the capitol square, I'd go for lunch and get a big bag of popcorn. I used to sit on the capitol lawn and feed the squirrels, they would eat from my hand and sometimes climb into my lap or up my back.

It really bothered my husband, but I loved the little guys...and the black capped chickadees who also liked popcorn.
