Choosing an animal to love is cool and all. But when a wild animal chooses to love you, that’s a very unique thing.

[@stephenwedderburn9307]

The amount of people who are caring enough to save injured animals then release them back into the wild, only to have them either refuse to go or come back to visit, makes me a bit envious 😃. Thank goodness there's lots of people like this as these videos give me a lift when I get a bit down. But like you say, a wild animal choosing you as a friend would be awesome.

[@randomrachael420]

Within the first year of a squirrel's life they map the surroundings that they will live in for the rest of their life.... if they cannot have access to that then they need someone to take care of them.

[@sunnydaze2359]

We found a baby squirrel after a storm & nursed it back to health. When he was big enough we decided to turn him loose. He made a home for himself in a tree next to our front porch & for two years, every time we would come out side he would run to us and crawl up onto her shoulders. He was so much fun he even used to play with our dog. Don’t know what finally happened to him, whether he found a mate or. Something, but he disappeared and will never know what happened to him.But I just know that he was a lovely little creature. ❤️

Same experience. I rehabbed a baby squirrel when I was a teenager. That squirrel loved me to death. He would get excited and run around his cage when I came home. He would jump 10 feet across the room to my shoulder when I called his name. I found him at Pocahontas State Park in Virginia and I named him Poco. I would take him into the woods to free him, and he always ran back and scampered up to my shoulder. Finally when he was about a year old, I took him to the woods and he started playing with two wild squirrels. They played and chased each other into the tops of the trees. I ran to keep up with them. He seemed so excited. I eventually lost site of him and called for him for nearly an hour... and that was it. I cried on my walk home.

It's more than amazing it's something that I wish the world would understand and do if everyone could be like you this world would be cured. I envy you and I envy your girlfriend if that's the girl in the background lol and I so envy that little squirrel.

I love it. I rescued a baby squirrel that fell out of the nest during a hurricane. I waited forever for momma to show up and she never did so I took him into my care. He was the greatest thing but like you said, they’re wild animals and I took him to my 3,000 acres my hunt club owns (nobody squirrel hunts there haha that’s why) and I let him go. I won’t lie…I’m a grown man but I cried. Every time I see a squirrel out there I always wonder if it’s him.

[@jackgoff4859]

Yea that's a great story but the first step is the animal's mother being killed or separated from it very soon after birth. This squirrel is attached to what it probably thinks is it's mother. If this happened a few weeks later that squirrel would've already learned to be afraid of humans and it wouldn't have gone down like this.

I showed your video to my squirrels, ferrets, opossum, and my raccoon. The squirrels immediately started watching. I think they want to meet up. But for some reason, the raccoon took a walnut and placed it in front of the monitor, almost as if offering a food gift. (This is no joke, as he usually does this with the others.) All my animals are very humanized. As soon as the video stopped though, he took the walnut back.
