A family found this tiny baby squirrel on the ground all alone. They tried to locate his mama but were unsuccessful, so they decided to care for him until he was strong enough, and old enough, to be released back into the wild. Millie, the sweetest Yellow Lab, loved that idea and was totally on board! Just watch as she frolics with the baby squirrel and is so gentle around him. She even watches over him as he sleeps. Isn’t this precious?

This is our dog, Millie, and our baby squirrel, whom has been dubbed "Squirrel", we rescued from our back yard after a tree fell down and we found this little baby squirrel. We left the squirrel outside for about a day and when we went back he was still there. His mother never found him, or his mother was dead. We then took it upon our selves to take care of this little squirrel until he is ready to be released. So far he has lasted just over a week under our care. He has evolved from not having his eyes open to a bounding squirrel full of energy.
He is very fun to watch and enjoys playing with my dog and of course, eating. Hopefully I will have updates every once and a while as he is just too cute not to take pictures and video of. Neither my dog, nor the squirrel has been hurt during their play. He is not meant to be kept as a pet, and will be released as soon as possible. Please enjoy this little video of the squirrel and my dog.
