After trying a bunch of foods and discovering Pepito liked pineapple best, the new wildlife rehabilitator examined the squirrel’s legs, concluding that the animal injured a nerve. An animal lover and retired physician, the man decided to care for the squirrel, whom he named Pepito, and nurse him back to health. On a day when “the man” was busy hurrying through a huge to-do list, he noticed an incapacitated squirrel, who crawled onto his boot.
