Debby Cantlon and Mademoiselle Giselle, her pregnant Papillon, didn’t hesitate to take in an orphaned newborn squirrel and nurse it back to health.

The black and white Papillon with long-haired butterfly ears dragged the squirrel’s cage to her bedside — twice — before giving birth to pups last month.

Cantlon was concerned at first, but ultimately decided to let the squirrel out. Mademoiselle Giselle even encouraged the little rodent to join her litter.
