Cutest squirrel story ever

You have to go to Jerry Coyne's blog to see a story about a pet squirrel.

Soldiers are known for being tough as nails, but when this fellow in the Belarusian army found a sick squirrel under a tree, his inner softie came out. Warrant officer Pyotr Pankratau discovered the tiny creature unconscious and barely alive. Taking him back to the base, the officer fed him milk from a syringe every four hours. After two weeks, the little guy began to pep up and ended up staying on the base with Pankratau for the next two years. When they were released, the officer took his furry right-hand man, whom he’d named “Minsk,” with him and the two now drive a taxi cab together.

Seriously, go to the blog post and look at the photos. Cutest. Squirrel. Ever. (Be sure to ignore the cat in one photo.)
