One day, New York State Trooper LaVonte’ Lee noticed something in the middle of a busy road. It was a pair of helpless newborn squirrels and Lee just knew he had to stop. The other day, New York State Trooper LaVonte’ Lee spotted something in the middle of a busy road in the city of Ithaca. It was a pair of baby squirrels in need of help. Lee knew he had to stop.

After Lee carried the squirrels off the road, they weren't particularly eager to leave their rescuer's side. Instead, they remained perched upon Lee's arm. The baby squirrels had found the perfect person to help them — and they seemed to know it. "Lee swooped in to save the day," the police department wrote. "Looks like he made some new friends."
