A daring Squirrel Rescue – Never get between a mother and her child

By Queuebot in Animals & Pets, Pictures on Feb 3, 2009 at 12:23 pm

They often say a mother’s love has no boundaries, and this series of photos shows the length the squirrel mother will go to to keep her baby safe.

When the dog corners the frightened young one she leaps in for the attack and lets it get to safety so quickly the bemused dog is left wondering what happened, as they both scamper safely up a tree

A true tale of valiance from the animal kingdom.

    Saw this a few days ago, and wondered if it would end up here. Very cool heroism, very cool tree-rat.

    Haha the last picture is so funny… the dog is so confused and the mother squirrel is making sure the baby squirrel gets up the tree safely

    I wonder why the person with the Camera didn’t try to stop the dog?
    Maybe the person with the camera was the dogs owner… Hmm… could be an evil camera person… >:(

    Never try to interfere in a confrontation like that. Unless you like being bitten or otherwise mauled. Probably happened so fast the photographer didn’t have time to get in there anyway.

    How about someone putting a collar and a leash on that dog?
