Just when you think the world is going to hell in a handbasket - the Dodo comes through with stories such as these two remarkable creatures! Thank you!!

A man and his squirrel...animals bring us so much joy.

This is the kind of person to look for in a spouse. Kind to animals and willing to wear a squirrel-onesy

You deserve praise for giving that baby squirrel a fighting chance without its Mother. You stepped up & didn't take the easy option. Massive respect.👍

Mark and Peanut's story reminds us that a human family can definitely include other living species.

The love of man and squirrel knows no bounds.

Him being a compassionate and kind human being makes him a million times more attractive than he already is!!! I'M DEAD, I-

I love the time he is hiding food in the blanket, so cute.

What a beautiful man - and I'm not just talking physically

I wouldn't want to leave that handsome rescue dad either! 🥵🔥😍 Smart squirrel! 🤣

I have squirrels in my backyard and I can tell you I’m extremely impressed with how intelligent these little creatures are.

The story made me tear up as it’s such a happy story for both of them. Having a squirrel is like an ADHD person 24/7

Peanut is so cute, hope he and his wonderful owner make so many more wonderful moments together

That is the most athletic squirrel l have ever seen. And his capacity for affection is splendid. I am not surprised that he is smart or loving. On a smaller scale l too have my squirrel stories.

That clip at 2:09 of him burying the food in the blanket 😂😂😂 Genetics at work in the most adorable way possible 😍😍🥰

Peanut and his dad are adorable!! much respect goes to Mark for saving Peanut's life.

This is like Alvin and the chipmunks but now he’s a squirrel.

Ive never wanted to be a squirrel so badly in my whole life. He is dreamy!!

His OF is 🔥

Way TOO COOL. You trained him well. Now you have a buddy for life.

Wow, what a beautiful human you are(-: May the sun always shine on you.

I'm getting diabetes from how sweet this is

I love how he gives Peanut so many *kisses*

Two handsome fellas!😁Great story!😍

I've slowly taught a squirrel at my apartment complex to come sit in my lap and eat out of my hand. Everybody thinks i'm a nutter, lol. Squirrels are so damn cute, it's worth it

This had me Googling the life expectancy of squirrels lol. Sounds like, in captivity, they can live up to 20 years. Longer than dogs and most cats. That made me happy to think of these two having each other for that long.

Squirrels are so smart and need love.

Dang, these things always make me cry. Restores your faith.

Peanut is so cute and I love how dad took care of him and tried to release him but peanut came back and dad still gives him an open door policy. I drive a lot for my job and I see squirrels trying to cross the roads so I talk to them to help them out of harms way.

I don't believe he's going anywhere. He loves you too much ❤️

It's always the big tattooed ppl who are misunderstood as big bad but they are always the humble and kind ones ❤️

i was distracted from the squirrels cuteness by the guys cuteness

Ive had 2 friend squuirrels, its amazing how smart and cuddly and vocal they are,

So sweet that guy is and how warm their connection are. So nice to see the bond between them.

Wow. What a cute damn squirrel that's just adorable. Glad to see he gave the squirrel a life it wasn't meant to have. That's some dedication!

As a child of eight I visited a family who had a pet squirrel. I've never fully recovered. Thank you so so much for this, you lucky dude.

Be a good friend, have a good friend. Well done.

I’ve never seen a black squirrel in the wild. “He’s my best friend.” Sooo sweet & What every man needs to teach them about love.

Just about the most beautiful squirrel I’ve ever seen!

That's a pretty rare squirrel if I'm not mistaken. Excellent job keeping that awesome little guy safe. It is absolutely a joy to see this kind of humanity in its pure form. We come from nature and are animals that have evolved. The importance of communing with the other species on this planet is not only entertaining and heart warming, but it is true to our nature and beneficial in so many ways. Examples like this are a perfect reminder that our coinhabitants learn so instinctually through emotional connection. Who knows how they could surprise us if we all learn a lil to treat them better.

This man has a good heart ❤ be proud 👏

I've been fortunate enough to have 2 squirrels the 1st baby was blind his name was Nutley & the 2nd was named Cashew I loved them so much

This guy is one song away from being a Disney princess… and I’m so jealous.

“The squirrel is my best friend.” Owner. “You used to say that about us!” The Cat.

Wow! What a beautiful story the little guy is being taken care by a handsome awesome giant. The world needs more men like this guys. Cheers 🇨🇦

I literally have watched this three times so far back to back and it is making me smile so much my face is aching. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful friendship.

👍🏽Never saw a black squirrel before; really beautiful. So glad you decided to set him free. He made the choice to come back to you, now you know for sure he wants to stay with you even though you're not forcing him to. 💓

You’re wonderful person. Those animals that you have are very very lucky.🦫🐈🦡🦫🐘🦝🐀🐿🐕🦮🐈🙏🏻

I have never seen a black squirrel before. Thank you for sharing this Loving and caring video. ❤💙🐶

I saw this on Facebook and watched again here. Such a nice story and thank you Mark for your great kindness!😁👋

Squirrels are amazing animals to watch. Their grace of movement is pretty spectacular.

My mumma feeds birds and squirrels in our garden. And they follow her in the daylight if she goes outside our house,they literally call their mates for the meal whenever she feeds them and they sing to her whenever they're hungry . Its such a joy that she has befriended them and now they aren't afraid of me and my dad.

This one makes me smile.. envy their lovely relationship. 😊

Thank you for saving his life and loving him. God bless you.

I have a pet squirrel I rescued and she’s the best animal friend I’ve ever had. She helps me on my depressed days with her spunky goofy attitude. Cutest thing ever lol. She loves to wrestle with me she rolls on her back like a dog while I get her belly and she wrestles my fingers 😂

great history, simpler, for him, you're "Dad", bless...

Too cute!!! Animals have a lot to give back as well. So glad this great person saved him!!! 🐿

Love this. Animals, even wild animals, who encounter love are smart enough to know it's love. And this just personifies that :-) Love it.

Looks like the best-eaten squirrel in the world lol. I've never seen such a plump squirrel

Any man who likes animals is a true gentleman. Animals are wonderful creatures who bring so much humor and love to our lives. This man has a kind heart and I am sure his mom raised him that way. It is a beautiful thing to share - to always love and respect animals. We cannot I've without them.

He planned this whole thing, for you. You needed him, he needed you. I am so glad you didn’t drop him off to be euthanized. I never understood the easy way out, we Don’t do it to humans. ♥️♥️♥️

Animals will stay where the love is ~ heart touching rescue story x

One of the cutest animal clips i have seen. Glad to see such cool young people. Bless you all much

It's wonderful how you treat your squirrel. They are great. I once saved a squirrel also. I found him on his back and bleeding, not alot, but still, he was hurt. I put a hand towel around him and bought him home. I had an empty shoe box so I put hand towels at the bottom and left one to cover him with at night. I served him sweet potatoes and bananas. As he was hurt around the mouth I cooked the sweet potatoes and bananas he ate fresh. He loved them. I also gave him water with a nose dropper. The first time he took the water, he just kept drinking what felt like a forever time. Eventually and slowly he started to eat peanuts. It was heartbreaking letting him go. I've seen him only once since than. But by now he must have his own family. Still miss him.

You sir, are an Amazing Human Being💕

This guy is amazing! And that squirrel is completely precious! ❤️🥰🙏🙌

Good people's compassion and kindness heal the universe

The second I saw how he ran back to his friend, he was imprinted. Heck, probably after a few days the squirrel imprinted. He was never gonna leave.❤

I want one of those Marks please.

Just too adorable

I hand reared a new born baby squirrel when I was young I called him pee wee. He was the best pet. I understand the love your talking about. Thank you for having the humanity to help this precious baby.❤️

we all need to have a break from the constant bad news and enjoy videos like this, thankyou

I fell in love with a squirrel 🐿 that inhabits my son’s yard in Los Feliz and sits in a tree swing. Great video

You can tell when someone really loves something/someone because they don’t worry about germs, at all.

what a lovely relationship. he is so handsome. a beautiful man inside and out.

Aww, Im just going nuts over the both of the them. They are so adorable! 🙋🏻‍♂️🥜 🐿

How sweet ❤️. Ppl and animals cross our paths for a reason. We all need each other.

This man has a good heart.

It's so cute to see a tall ripped handsome guy taking care of a black squirrel. He looks so healthy, he surely took it from his dad.

Squirrels are awesome. I had a rescue that rescued me too . They're smart and sweet and they love to play.

So ADORABLE!

This is the coolest and cutest story. You are the perfect dad for him.🙂

G'Day Mark, well done Squire ,saving a little Fluffybutt,Bless you !

He is so damn cute, and so is that squirrel. Good man.

what a wonderful story, God bless this man and his buddy squirrel

Kudos! Such compassion. Peanut's Champion, our Hero! Along the way, teaching the global community how best to heal that ailing us. Blessings, always.

Simply adorable and beautiful ❤️🥰🥰 Love from Singapore

Love is a beautiful thing, a wild animal and his Human have just as much love between them as any family member can have. It's so cute to watch them play.

Agree with another commenter. Absolutely, it’s Earth angels who do this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Amazing little athletes. Some of those leaps are equivalent to us jumping over our house !😎👍

Lovely little critter for sure and they never forget your acts of kindness such an inspiring video! Thanks!

He is adorable and seems to be lots of company. How cute!!! He sure does love you!!! Amazing!!

Love it.. ❤️💖💗 huge respect. Keep it up 🤠

I love squirrels so I'm a little envious! Such a great dad!🥰

He's cool. They are so high energy!!

It's amazing the love you can have for something so small. It's amazing that you still have human beings that will go out their way to help save an beautiful animal.

This is so neat. I've always loved squirrels. I love that he and the cat play together. This brought tears to my eyes.

What a beautiful friendship!

So beautiful! Thanks for caring for him!

Okay then! Lovin' the rescue and that kitty n squirrel get along.
