    I like how the squirrel laughs at 1:59 when the guy mentions how he doesn't usually bite but he is a squirrel.

    The amount of times I've been harassed by squirrels when I came too close to their home, it makes sense why a domesticated squirrel would protect your home as well. Also that Joey didn't attack the officer investigating, because he saw the two of you communicating and obviously not in a dangerous situation, the same way a dog does.

    This story is as good as the lady that brought a blind cat home from the shelter and on the first night she heard a racket downstairs and found a broken window with some blood. She called the police and a short time later the burglar was apprehended. He was drinking in a bar close by - covered in cat scratches!

      Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️
      *What is the Gospel?*
      The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
      Ephesians 2:8-9
      For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      Romans 10:9
      9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
      JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
      Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

    In nature, squirrels are quite territorial, so I'm not terribly shocked by this, even though it's a bit unusual. I suspect Joey is fine with somebody he doesn't know coming in the house so long as "Daddy" is home, and things are friendly. But some stranger comes in when Daddy isn't home, and starts messing around? It's time to bust some nuts.

    As kids we lived in a large wooded family compound along the Mississippi River, which had lots of oak trees -- and therefore squirrels. If there were orphaned baby squirrels, my grandparents and parents (dedicated conservationists, even in those days in the early 1950s) had us kids care of them, feed them, until they could be released safely back into the wild. Over the years, we had a yardful of tame squirrel visitors who remembered the care they had received from us.😊

    My dad brought home an injured baby chipmunk in '94. We named him Alvin, and nursed him back to health, and eventually released him in the wild near our family cabin. He came to visit us for a couple of years after we released him. He would actually come in the cabin and climb on us, or eat out of our hands. He eventually got massive and lost an eye in a fight presumably. He was special.

      I'm going to be an animal rehabilitationist when I get my job, they say not to touch wild animals if you can help it because they will trust you and become dependent and then think it's best to trust others that actually want to harm them, it's best to leave them wild if you can help it. But I'm glad and so pround that your dad nursed the chipmunk back to life. Such bravery and courage to do something so sweet to an innocent creature who means nothing but pure care and love. I'm sorry to hear that he lost an eye, animals deal with more pain than we do. I saw a tail of a squirrel, like the fur part somewhere and I was stunned if the squirrel was surviving without it.

He was a little baby that was caught in a fire. It burned his extremities. Didn't think he was gonna make it but we kept bottle feeding him and giving him antibiotics.

I also had a hairless rat who he knitted a little sweater for (it gets pretty cold in my country - Canada). I also once rescued a wild rat who'd been attacked by an owl, and he drove him about 6 hours away to a wildlife sanctuary (there are rat sanctuaries in my city now, don't worry).

You can volunteer at zoos and wildlife rehabilitation clinics and animal rescues and shelters. I became a wildlife biologist and enjoyed many years in the outdoors studying fish and wildlife. There are many seasonal jobs that you don't need advanced degrees or training for too. I'm not as familiar with Canada, but there are likely many government agencies that need field workers.

    Many years ago, a friend of mine had a flying squirrel as a pet. Its favorite spot was the valance curtain next to the sofa. One day, an Avon lady came, sat on the sofa, and opened her case. From habit, the squirrel glided down to her shoulder. Just as the squirrel's toenails touched her shoulder, the squirrel realized she wasn't somebody he knew. The squirrel screamed in her ear and ran away. The Avon lady screamed and ran from the house. My friend's family had to gather up her belongings for her because she refused to go back into the house.

She attacked a few people and bit them because they were strangers and invading his territory. He bit and scratched three different people. One because she teased him all night long and in the morning he busted out of his cage and ran up to her and bit her! The other one was a neighbor kid who was running all over our house and walking on the furniture, Frank got up on his back and scratched him up pretty good and the last time was when he almost ran out the front door and the neighbor put her hand down the same time my mom did to stop him, and he bit the neighbor but not my mom. They are very protective and they are darling pets!

    I know it's old but you know, wild squirrels are absolutely terrifying if provoked. I'm a wildlife rehab student and once they get to be a certain size, the center suggests wearing leaver gloves like what you'd wear to handle a small raptor. Nothing is quite as intimidating as a squirrel growling at you and squaring up for a fight. As odd as that sounds, it's true.

      Ephesians 2:8-9
      For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      Romans 10:9
      9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

    My squirrel Zosi "2008-2013" was exactly the same. Although he could be very possessive, I would take him on daily walks and bike rides and people would constantly come up wanting pictures etc, and he would never attack anyone. "I wouldn't let people hold him for safety and legal reasons" but sometimes people would get too close and he'd run up their leg or something, just playfully. But things were very different when it came to my son or any girl I brought home. Basically he would become jealous and possessive. Nothing serious tho, just flicking his tail and making quick jabs at whoever he didn't want around me.
    But then one day my son came over while I was still at class and thought he would just play my computer for the hour until I got home, but the moment he stepped inside the house without me, he saw Zosi and thought he'd just ignore him like usual, but this time Zosi immediately charged and leapt on him, ran up and around to his back and started to scratch his neck area "minor superficial ones" but my son panicked and instinctivly grabbed him to throw him off, and the moment he did that, Zosi bit down and chewed his finger so hard that it fractured his finger bone. It was the only time he had ever hurt anyone. After that incident, I had to get a large cage for when my son came over because even if I was home after that, Zosi just didn't like or trust him anymore.
    Another time, while on one of the walks or bike rides we would do together daily, usually with a harness and leash, but this day we were walking and two pit bulls charged down a driveway while the dogs owners were bringing in groceries and in that split second, my Zosi immediately ran down from the top of my hat "where he liked to hang out" and ran straight at the charging dogs. Worried he'd be killed, I had to jerk him back so he flew backwards, but he got the message and ran back onto my shoulder ready to fight, madly flicking his tail while the dogs viciously barked circling around us just about a foot away. His brave little soul wouldn't back down from anything that he thought was a danger to me. I really miss him dearly.

    We had a pet squirrel. Raised from a just barely fuzzy pup. We named it Rocky from the cartoon show with Bullwinkle. Rocky was always playing/teasing our cats. They all got along well. When Rocky matured we discovered that he was she! Then the name changed to Rockette. SHE was always very defensive of anyone until we told her they were ok. Then, she would accept them and be her normal squirrel self begging for treats and getting all kinds of attention. At some point, she decide she wanted to make more squirrels and she bolted out the door, made a boy friend and had a family. She would always bring the kids around for treats and attention but, over time, kind of faded away.
    She was always missed but, we felt better once we had our pet blue jay, named BJ,or course. BJ also played with the cats and was one heck of a door bell. BJ was a clown and would imitate our telephone ringer when we were in the shower. Dare bird! Got the wife out of the shower a dozen time doing that! BJ also would do the Wolf Whistle and Hey You whistle. He did it when the kids were walking home from school and confused the heck out of the girls! The girls first were looking to see who was doing that and then saw BJ on the wife's shoulder. They were instantly tickled to meet him. He lived a long life of about 10 years and in his last few his feathers went from blue and black to almost all white.
    We had many pets such as above but also a dog, and some turtles and snakes and a brown bat, or two.
    Yes. We have a very strange family and there is rarely a dull moment in our house. LOL

    This is truly funny! Anyone who's had a squirrel as a pet or friend knows just how smart they really are so this doesn't really surprise me .... but I can't stop thinking that a little fuzzy 2 pound rodent actually got a grown man to leave the house he was robbing lol

      FWIW - that's not a safe, per se. It's a lightweight security cabinet. I have the same thing, and don't expect it to keep even a semi-competent burglar out for more than a couple minutes.

    I rescued a baby squirrel about a week ago and I had a friend coming look at him and he tried to attack my friend and my friend said can I pick him up and I said please don't because he is obviously very upset and I made my friend leave LOL I wasn't trying to be mean but I don't want my baby to be upset and I've only had him a week but with me and my son! He is very sweet! He looks like he's only a few months old! And we have so much fun playing !!! Thank you for your video because I feel even safer now! I am a single woman living in government housing and I think my squirrel is going to be my little guardian angel

    This isn’t surprising to me because I actually had a pet squirrel in college. He was a rescue because he & his sister were rejected as babies, and my roommate & I rescued them. I turned my boy over to a rescue group, but he was a wonderful squirrel that imprinted on me, and I loved him very much.

    Joey is a cutie ♥️♥️♥️ I raised a squirrel and he was my baby for 2 years I let him go in my back yard and he made babies and had a great life. The squirrels in my neighborhood had white bellies and my Rhett had an orange belly. There were no white belly squirrels born after his release they all still have orange belly’s for these 20 years. He left a legacy ♥️♥️♥️

      that's an absolutely horribly negligent idea if you took a prey animals sense of fear and put them back into the wild, why the hell would you do that? that's a death sentence

      @@nanhand99 did you even read what I said? the whole reason it's bad to release pets is because they have problems taking care of themselves. wild animals are afraid of humans because they fear potential predators. pets are trained to stop being afraid of strange big animals who can kill them, and trained to get food from humans instead of the normal way. it's lazy, self centered and careless to just give up and leave them outside to fend for themselves after *you* chose to alter their behavior to be a pet
