Recently, a burglar broke into a home in Meridian, Idaho, while the owner, Adam Pearl, was away. However, the thief didn’t expect to be stalked by the man’s favorite squirrel named Joey. Adam raised the baby from the age of 10 months.

The squirrel fell out of its nest and was abandoned by its family. The kind person took care of the squirrel, and the child quickly recovered. After that, Joey ran around the house and ate nuts from a bowl.

He usually acted like a cat. When the squirrel wanted Adam’s attention, it would run to its man and climb up his leg. Adam loved the baby. Once, when Adam was not at home, a thief broke into his house and tried to break into his gun safe.

When the owner returned, he was sure that something was obviously wrong. Adam saw traces of snow on the driveway leading to the back of the house and even found that the doors to his room had been left open.

So he informed the Meridian police and asked them to investigate it. When Officer Ashley Turner came out to look at Adam’s house, Joey was there to greet her. Officer Turner was startled when Joey moved around her legs and asked the owner if he would bite people.

To which Adam replied that his domestic squirrel had never bitten anyone. However, Officer Turner returned a few hours later with some of Adam’s belongings and some incredible news. They found the robber.

The police officer informed the pet owner; when interrogating the thief, he revealed that the little squirrel kept attacking him and would not stop until he left. After that, Joey was hailed as a “hero”. How no one could believe that a squirrel could guard a house.
