Ever since Ivor Sherlock aged 13 years of Boreham Wood Hertfordshire
Ever since Ivor Sherlock aged 13 years of Boreham Wood Hertfordshire, took Sam a few weeks old grey squirrel from the Dray a disused magpies nest, which had been converted and lined with moss and straw, he has had lots of fun, and some worries too. Ivor learned that mother squirrel had been captured so he went to the hawthorn bush and just in case with gloved hand he pulled out Sam, a puny thing with the fur just starting to grow. He fed it with warm milk from a spoon and then biscuits, fruit and later prepared nuts. Today 6 months after, they are on the best of terms and although Sam has got a large cage and a den, it is quite free when Ivor is around to roam the garden, trees and the house. It has never attempted to escape.
Sam has a terrific appetite and eats the queerest things for a squirrel, for instance he loves warm tea and usually steals a piece of cake from my mouth but chocolate biscuits is his real favourite." At tea table, Sam leaps and tries Ivors tea.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Ever since Ivor Sherlock, a 13-year-old from Boreham Wood, Hertfordshire, rescued Sam the grey squirrel from an abandoned magpie's nest, their bond has grown stronger with each passing day. With his gloved hand, Ivor carefully plucked out the tiny creature who was just beginning to sprout fur. Nurturing him with warm milk and a variety of treats like biscuits and fruit, Ivor watched as Sam thrived under his care. Now, six months later, they have become inseparable companions. Sam resides in a spacious cage but enjoys the freedom to explore whenever Ivor is nearby. Whether it's roaming through the garden or climbing trees in search of adventure, Sam never shows any desire to escape. His appetite knows no bounds; he devours everything from warm tea to stolen pieces of cake right from Ivor's mouth. However, chocolate biscuits hold a special place in his heart. Captured beautifully in this vintage photograph taken in September 1952 by Mirrorpix (not affiliated with any company), we witness the heartwarming connection between these two unlikely friends at tea time. As Sam playfully leaps towards Ivor's cup of tea while trying to steal a sip for himself, their unbreakable bond shines through. This timeless image serves as a testament to the power of compassion and friendship that can blossom even between species.
