Sad new development from a story we have featured before. The Internet fell in love with Mark Longo and his rescue squirrel, Peanut. Longo rescued Peanut after witnessing his mother get hit by a car. He took him in and helped him grow for 8 months before attempting to release him to the wild. He wouldn’t leave and they have been best pals ever since.
They had amassed over a million followers in the 7 years they have been sharing their story on TikTok and other social platforms. Peanut served as the face of a non-profit animal rescue Longo runs with his wife.
