Pet squirrel takes on home intruder

We've all heard of a guard dog, but a guard squirrel?  That's new!  Adam Pearl walked into his Meridian, Idaho house and knew something was wrong after noticing unusual prints in the snow and certain doors in his house closed that were normally left open.  While his pet squirrel Joey was seemingly normal, he went into the back room and noticed scratches on the door, which confirmed his suspicions that someone had been in his house.  Sure enough, a local cop had interviewed the man suspected of robbing Adam and the guy admitted that Joey "kept attacking me and wouldn't stop until I left." 

Now that's a good pet!
