A baby squirrel who was once rejected by her mother has formed a beautiful bond with the disabled U.S. veteran who rescued her. The veteran hoped to release her once she was healthy, but the squirrel had her own plans.

Formerly of the U.S. Marines, 53-year-old New York City native Paul Materasso was injured in service. He is now a father of two living in Queens.
