One day man Decan Andersen looked trough his window and saw a baby red squirrel lying in his garden. The baby squirrel fell from the tree and was hurting. Decan knew he should wait for the mother to come and save its baby, but things didn’t play exactly that way. Although mommy squirrel came, she left without saving her baby and left nature to do the rest. Decan stepped in, took the baby squirrel to the veterinarian and she ended up being his best friend.

Now named Tintin, the squirrel became a star of an adorable Instagram account. Decan is documenting Tintin’s everyday life on the account while providing us with the cutest photos. Let’s check out some of them below.
