The Harrison family from South Carolina have a very helpful habit. They love to nurture injured and ill animals to regain their health. They always try their best to nurse them back to health so that they can return to their natural habitat. When they randomly took care of a baby squirrel, the family never expected that 8 years later, something amazing would happen…

An Exceptional Squirrel

If you have never met or seen a squirrel then you are probably living under a rock. We know that squirrels usually refrain from spending time or having contact with humans. They are quite timid and fearful of almost every other living being. They usually spend time looking for food and roam about in the trees. This baby squirrel was quite the exception though.

Getting Rescued

It was quite unexpected for Brantley Harrison to meet with the little squirrel. The baby squirrel was found wounded and it appeared as though it had been attacked by an angry owl there in South Carolina. Harrison was very fond of animals so helping injured animals was a natural thing. The family took the squirrel in and named her Bella. Bella was residing with three other squirrels even when she was under Harrison’s care. Like we had mentioned earlier, the whole family was quite fond of animals so it was not a big surprise that they already had other squirrels as well. As soon as all of them were nursed back to health, the family decided that it was the perfect time to keep them back to their natural habitat.

Hat Lover Gets Injured Again

This squirrel had proven to be more and more strange, but in the best way possible though. She actully does not mind wearing hats! While most animals cannot bear to wear clothes or hats, this squirrel actually enjoys this. “I can’t believe she lets me do it. I could not love this squirrel any more than I already do!” Harrison revealed in disbelief. We know that Bella is a very lovable squirrel but she in quite the lucky one to be able to have met with the Harrisons. After all, we pass by squirrels every day but who actually takes time to nurse a random injured squirrel back to health. She went ahead and got injured once again. To come to save the day and help her recover, the family was there right by her side once again.
