Lisa told us it took about 30 minutes to nurse the squirrel back to health. "Poor thing wasn't moving its back legs, and it was in shock." She's happy that not only did the squirrel survive, but it also turned into a teaching moment for her son as he witnessed firsthand how people can make a positive difference in an innocent animal's life.
