Be sure to watch until the end when the squirrel comes back for round 2.

Yes, I got bitten by one of little beasts that I was trying to eject from the house after it had fallen through my chimney.

I can attest those suckers bite hard. (Squirrels very rarely carry rabies, so I wasn't actually worried about that at least.)

If only they could be domesticated and trained to attack on command to defend their human and canine friends against the malevolent instead.

Is that a squirrel in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

They could be carried in a fanny pack, too. Speaking of SQUIRREL!

Trunk monkey, step aside there's a new sheriff in town! I have two big grays that have been living in a knot hole in one of our maple trees for years. I see them and they see me on a daily basis. Lately when I'm outside one will run at me from behind and run across one of my feet brushing his tail on my leg and the returns to the tree by his mate. It's like squirrels counting coup. They are never aggressive towards me like the one in the video they are just goofing around and showing off for the other one.

Big tough looking guy acted like a wuss.

Let’s see how tough you look when a rodent runs up your leg, clings to your back and is biting you with it’s acorn chompers.

It would have only done that once, no more. Ban assault squirrels…

Apologies, not a squirrel, still...

I hope to never have a run in with a angry squirrel. That damn racky raccoon I can attest to. I've rid this old property if 46 now and many is the time a 25 to 30 pound panda made me jump back away from the trap. They got rackytude.

A friend of mines friend lost a finger when she reached down to grab her dog who was engaged with a coon.

That squirrel vid made me laugh as hard as I have laughed in a while.

I would have grabbed it and snapped its spine, ESPECIALLY when it jumped on my dog. Normally, I despise doing anything that hurts an animal, but have no problem defending myself or my pets.

I loved the part where it looks like he has a coon skin cap on when the squirrel is on his head. Hillarious

This kind of reminds me of “Ferret Legging”...

Yep. WTF was he doing contorting his body trying to shake it off? One hand still holding the phone, the other doing nothing.

I don't care what anyone says, if a squirrel attacked me like that I would quietly go to war with them.
If my seven year old grandson got attacked like that in my yard and I thought I could have prevented it...
Must be something wrong with that squirrel.

The squirrel was trying to get away from that dog and climbed the tallest thing near it.

There's not a thing wrong with that squirrel. Survival instinct.

Yep, you mean:
