When Debby found 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.

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

Debby 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 mosh pit 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 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? 
 
 Keep loving everyone...........even the squirrelly ones!
