  The moral of this story is the best part!!!

Debby Cantlon, who plans to release Finnegan, the young squirrel, back into the  wild, bottle-fed the infant squirrel after it was brought to her house..When Cantlon took in the tiny creature and began caring for him, she found herself
with an unlikely nurse's aide: her pregnant Papillion, Mademoiselle Giselle.

Finnegan was resting in a nest in a cage just days before Giselle was due
to deliver her puppies.

Cantlon and her husband watched as the dog dragged the squirrel's cage
twice to her own bedside before she gave birth.

Cantlon was concerned, yet ultimately decided to allow the squirrel out
and the inter-species bonding began.

Finnegan rides a puppy mosh pit of sorts, burrowing in for warmth  after
feeding, eventually working his way beneath his new litter mates.

Two days after giving birth, mama dog Giselle allowed Finnegan to nurse;
family photos and a videotape show her encouraging him to suckle alongside her litter of five pups.

Now, Finnegan mostly uses a bottle, but still  snuggles with his 'siblings' in a moshpit of puppies,  rolling atop their bodies, and sinking in deeply  for a nap.

Finnegan and his new litter mates, five Papillion puppies, get along together as
if they were meant to.

Finnegan naps after feeding.

Finnegan makes himself at home with his new litter mates, nuzzling
nose-to-nose for a nap after feeding.


Wouldn't it be nice if we could all get along like Finnegan and the gang?

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Keep loving everyone, even the squirrelly ones..
  
 "Laugh Often, Love with all your Heart,
and Forgive Always."
