At first, Jack couldn’t quite make out what animals were in the car. First, he noticed their size, next he realized their shape. After a befuddled thought process, Jack came to the conclusion that these were newborn squirrels.
The nest was built on the inside of the front passenger wheel well. Together, these babies had no idea that they were living in a squad car.
After realizing that he had 4 baby squirrels in the wheel well of his squad car, Jack and the mechanic devised a plan to get the animals back safely to their mama.
They put the babies in a box while still in their nest, and very carefully drove back to Jack’s parking spot. Jack hoped that the mama squirrel would make it back to her babies, and he waited all night making sure she would. A couple hours later, mama made her sweet reunion.
From that point on, the mama squirrel and the babies were given the protection of the McHenry County Police Department. Officers checked on the squirrels several times a day until the day came when the squirrels could finally leave the nest.
I LOVE this story! It shows both the maternal side of the mama squirrel along with the compassionate side of the human. I am so happy that these squirrels were given a safe and protected nest by both their mama and the police officers!
