Pit bulls have been unfairly labeled as aggressive, but in reality, they are naturally affectionate and caring. Back in the 1800s, pit bulls were even nicknamed “nanny dogs” due to their loving and loyal nature, especially towards children. Everly, our pit bull, has inherited these same qualities and has always been eager to befriend other animals.
During one of their walks, Everly and her owner, Morgan Joy Groves, came across a lone baby squirrel. Everly caught the squirrel’s attention and developed an unexpected bond. The little squirrel seemed to sense that Everly would be a great caretaker, so it followed her and Groves all the way home. This charming encounter left Groves unsurprised since she noticed Everly’s endearing qualities that attract other animals.
Everly took a break and laid down, which made the small squirrel comfortable enough to come even closer to her. The tiny creature snuggled up on Everly’s lap, and they both dozed off peacefully. After this sweet moment, Everly made the decision to look after the little one.
Everly took on the role of a foster parent to a baby squirrel, and they shared many moments of sleep and affection together. However, Groves realized that the squirrel needed specialized care to ensure its healthy development and independence. Consequently, they decided to hand over the responsibility to a wildlife center where it could receive the necessary care and support. Although Everly had grown attached to her little foster son, they knew it was best for him to grow up alongside two other squirrels at the center and eventually return to the wild with them.
At times, for a mother to be good, she must ensure that her child has the best possible chance of leading a prosperous life even if it entails relinquishing them. The small squirrel will undoubtedly remain grateful for his considerate adoptive mother and cherish the love and solace she provided him when he required it the most. The heartwarming narrative has touched the hearts of many on the internet.
