Attack Squirrel Goes Nutz!



A pet squirrel named Joey prevented a burglary attempt in Idaho last week by scratching the suspect when he tried to break into a gun safe, police said.
The unidentified told officers that the squirrel's attack "scared him, obviously, because he wasn't expecting to have, you know, a squirrel come flying out of nowhere at him," said Officer Ashley Turner of the police department in Meridian, a Boise suburb. "So basically he said he took what he could and left as fast as he could."



The squirrel's owner, Adam Pearl, said Joey has lived in his house for about six months after he was found in a flower garden by a friend's when he was about a week old.



He said Joey's eyes were still closed, and they set an alarm to feed him every two hours.
"His temperament is kind of like a cat," Pearl said. "When he wants attention, he'll run up to you and climb up your leg."



Joey eats nuts and greens, and spinach is his favorite. He buries some of the nuts in houseplants inside Pearl's house and uses a litterbox.
"He trained himself," Pearl said.



Joey's reward for his vigilance were Whoppers, the squirrel's favorite candy.



Pearl had planned to release Joey into his backyard in the spring.
"But now, I don't know," he said. "I'm kind of torn."

I am really surprised that a tiny creature like a squirrel could be so protective of his domain. It's a great story, Bret. Thank you.

    They said on the news that the squirrel had left claw marks on the burglars face. Big things come in small packages I guess. I think I'd keep my nuts hidden!
Hope he got clawed good.

Rosie hates tree kitties, hop kitties and scurry kitties so it probably would not survive very long around here.
