Friend Indeed Finnegan The Squirrel Finnegan (The Squirrel) For about as long as she can remember, Debby Cantlon says, friends and strangers have brought her animals in need. So it wasn't much of a surprise when someone asked her if she'd care for a newborn squirrel found at the base of a tree somewhere near Renton, Washington. 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 Papillon dog, Mademoiselle Giselle. Finnegan the squirrel 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 Friends Indeed Finnegan the squirrel out of his cage and the inter-species bonding began. Finnegan rides a puppy pit of sorts, burrowing in for warmth after feeding, and eventually working his way beneath his new litter mates. Two days after giving birth, mama dog Giselle, allowed Finnegan the Squirrel to nurse; family photos and a videotape show her encouraging him to suckle alongside her litter of five pups. Now, Friends Indeed Finnegan mostly uses a bottle, but still snuggles with his "siblings" in a pit of puppies, rolling atop their bodies and sinking in deeply for a nap. Finnegan the Squirrel and his new litter mates, five Papillion puppies, get along together as if they were meant to be friends indeed. Finnegan the Squirrel naps after feeding. Finnegan makes himself at home with his new litter mates, nuzzling nose-to-nose for a nap after feeding. What a site to behold, puppy dogs and Finnegan the squirrel, happy together.
