The ABC news station in Idaho reported last Monday of a squirrelâs heroic deed to one familyâs home. Joey, the pet squirrel, went absolutely rabid on an intruder that broke into its ownerâs home. After the burglar was caught by police, he admitted to the squirrel scratching and attacking him the whole time he was trying to rob the house. Guess you can say that dogs have now been dethroned as âmanâs best friendâ.
