Woman Breaks Down In Tears When Squirrel She Rescued Returns To Thank Her

September 13, 2018

A woman nursed an injured baby squirrel back to health and made a "friend for life" in the process.

"My friend called me to tell me he found 2 baby squirrels and one was injured. I gave the sister to my friend Kristen so I could give the one with the broken paw all of my attention," Sheila Mattie said.

"He got better and better, I named him Crash Bandipoop. Finally he was jumping around like a psycho so I knew it was time to release him. I couldn't think to just let him go anywhere so I let him go in my backyard.

After not seeing him for a week I was sure he was a goner but then one day after I had a horrible day I came outside to him waiting for me on my back porch. He jumped right on me no problem and has now come back every single day since. He loves his mama! And I have a best friend for life!

During the time I had him, he socialized with his sister, my 5 year old daughter and my Great Pyrenees, Diesel. He even jumped on Diesel's face once and of course I raised a good dog so he let crash jump on him like a jungle gym.

I fed crash so much stuff while he was in my care he tried all kinds of new things. But no matter where he adventured off to in my care he would never be more than 5 feet away from me. He always had to know where I was and if I wasn't around he freaked out! His favorite spot to sleep was in my bra, and to be honest he even came to work with me the whole time I had him.

Nobody knew I had a baby squirrel sleeping sound in my bossum! Actually, my dad still doesn't know I had the squirrel in the house! Oh well, he'll find out when he sees this video."
