Woman forms bond with squirrel she helped raise - and now it won't go back to the wild

A woman who rescued a baby squirrel has formed a close bond with the animal after it refused to leave her care and head back out into the wild.

Patricia Robinson first found the squirrel, whom she named Bunk, in 2016 when he was rejected by his mother and was left to fend for himself - prompting Patricia to pick him up and raise him herself.

And while her initial plan was to get him healthy enough that he could be released back into the wild, Bunk seemingly had other plans as he refused to leave her house and has been with his human pal ever since.
