Hey literal squirrelfriend, you are today’s GOOD GUY OF THE DAY.

In the video below, police officers pull over to investigate what’s going on by the side of the road where a man is bending over what seems to be the dead body of a squirrel. Upon initiating a conversation, they learn that the man possibly sideswiped the critter or maybe just stunned it, causing its little heart to stop. He was patiently giving it CPR – pumping its furry chest, then massaging it and turning it over, when suddenly it bounced back to life and scampered off. Its rare we get a happy ending in 2018, but this qualifies. And the man’s elation will melt YOUR cold and rotted heart. Watch below.
