One of my relatives sends me all kinds of funny, cute and sometimes touching stories and photos through email. Among those, I've found this story (with photos) quite interesting. I thought that animal lovers like you might enjoy it a lot, and I wanted to share it with you!

A lady named Debby Cantlon found an injured and malnourished baby squirrel in the Seattle area during September 2005, and started taking care of the squirrel (she named the squirrel "Finnegan"). The most interesting part is that her black and white Papillon dog, Mademoiselle Giselle (who was pregnant at the time) twice dragged the kennel where Finnegan was recovering across the house, depositing it next to her own dog bed. Ms.Cantlon wasn't sure what the papillon dog wanted with Finnegan the squirrel.

Well, seeing is believing: please check out what happened to the squirrel after the puppies were born.

I hope you enjoy the photos. I hear many such stories where animals take care of other baby animals from different species. No matter how many times I come across such stories, I can't help being amazed!

Ms.Cantlon said that once Finnegan learns how to forage for food on his own she plans to release him back into the wild.
