Golden Retriever Forges a Beautiful Friendship With a Wild Squirrel and Her Babies

A beautiful golden retriever named Murphy so enjoys spending time with a wild squirrel named Chippy that he waits by the fence everyday to see her and present her with his most precious gifts.

Sometimes Murphy would come out and bring her gifts. He would bring her a ball which is his favorite toy he would just stand there and he dropped it down slowly. He can be very possessive over his ball, so the fact that he dropped it down for her, that’s pretty special. He’s just a very tender, sweet loving dog who happened to fall in love with this red squirrel.

When Chippy disappeared for a little while, Murphy was bereft, however when the squirrel returned to the yard with her babies in tow, Murphy was completely overjoyed. In fact, Murphy helped his human build a comfy home for them

When we noticed that chippy had not been coming around so much. Murphy was feeling a little melancholy … he had this look of sadness and he would stand by the window on a daily basis with different gifts hoping she would come. We realized Chippy had gone away because she was pregnant and she had babies. then she started to bring her babies to the tree to meet him it made us feel extremely happy that she trusted Murphy. 

Murphy’s human built an adorable little picnic table to Chippy’s little son Peanut, with whom Murphy had become very close.

Often I could see that peanut and Murphy had developed this magical friendship the same way that he had developed it with Chippy. …we decided to get a little picnic table for Peanut as a gift from Murphy. It was really funny when we first put it up. Peanut was running back and forth really really excited…Murphy goes right over the picnic table and waits for peanut and Peanut’s already there.
