Squirrel Finds A Friend HAYS "Rusty" a pet squirrel belonging to Monte Peterson, never had it so good. When four weeks old his mother evidently thought him mature enough to make his own living. She nudged him out of the family home without so much as an extra pecan to chew on. Rusty was rescued from the Peterson front yard by Monte who put the little squirrel on a diet of milk. Rusty fell for the idea without a moment's hesitation and now is ready and waiting when the milk call sounds.

Monte feeds him two ounces at a time, every so often. Rusty's cage matches the wall paper in the Peterson living room.
