Tropical Storm Florence: Dog helps displaced baby squirrel find shelter

SEVEN LAKES, N.C. —
After a Moore County dog found a squirrel that was drenched and displaced from Hurricane Florence, the dog’s owner couldn’t help but give it some shelter.
Meg Baker DeMolet wrote about the squirrel that her dog brought in, “Since we both enjoy grapes, Rocky and I will ride out the storm together.”
