    Video: A Pet Squirrel Named ‘Joey’ Stopped a Burglar From Breaking Into Gun Safe.   

You’ve heard of guard dogs before, but would you trust a squirrel with the duties of protecting your home? It appears a pet squirrel named Joey is more than up for the task.

Adam Perl told  KIVI when he walked into his home on February 7 he got an uneasy feeling and began to notice something was off. He found doors opened, things moved around and scratches on his gun safe.

Pearl called the police and Officer Ashley Turner came out to look around.

While writing her report, Pearl’s unusual pet startled Officer Turner, who scurried between her legs while inspecting the crime scene. What Turner didn’t know, was little Joey would be the key component to busting the perpetrator.

See, when Officer Turner was questioning a suspect she noticed scratches all up and down his hands and arms, a dead give away. The man said Joey, the pet squirrel, wouldn’t stop attacking him from the moment he stepped into the house until he left.

Pearl rewarded his brave little security guard with his favorite treat – Whoppers candy.

Who writes this stuff?  Did they go to school?   Or are the outsourcing it?
"While writing her report, Pearl’s unusual pet startled Officer Turner, who scurried between her legs while inspecting the crime scene."

So the squirrel was writing a report which startled the cop who ran between the squirrel's legs to inspect the crime scene.   

Too bad they didn't get a video.  It would have gone viral for sure.

Ya, right. I bet something else was running up and down her leg. Like nuts. Me and the NL could make a vid for ya. I could take my skwirrel tail and run it up and down....never mind. We best just forget that.

But could you do it while examining a crime scene?   

I've got a couple squirrel tails in the garage if you need some for your practice runs.   

[Rebel SS]

Dang right I could. There is the need at times to lay down the law. 

Say, I think it's high time you have personal profile pic, Delmont.....
