In a David and Goliath-style battle, a tiny little squirrel was caught attacking a grown man on a doorbell camera.
Seemingly enjoying a calm afternoon with his two dogs, the man is seen standing on his porch. A curious furry friend makes an appearance, capturing the attention of the guy. Mentioning it on his phone, he doesn’t pay too much mind.
But the squirrel is out for blood.
For unknown reasons, the squirrel bolts for the man and climbs up his leg in a split second. Attempting to free himself from the squirrel by flapping his leg, the man begins an insane dance. But that little rodent isn’t letting him go without a fight. It uses its tree-climbing skills and flies up the rest of its body.
Now, locked in, the squirrel has managed to get to a place of power on the man. He attaches himself to the back of the man’s neck and goes to work. Still with his phone in his hand, the man starts a series of ineffectual arm whirls and windmills to try to dislodge the squirrel from between his shoulders.
Eventually, the thing that frees the man from the evil clutches of the rabid squirrel is a hilarious head-banging maneuver. Whipping his hair back and forth in a manner that would be appraised by Willow, he managed to get the squirrel to his elbow.
From here, he launches the furry little terrorist into the horizon.
Squirrel Isn’t Finished Yet
This is more than just a casual attack from the squirrel; it’s a blood feud against the man and his family. Despite being thrown into the garden, the squirrel returns instantly, locking onto one of the dogs. Apparently showing no fear, it goes straight for the pooch, jumping at its face and eventually locking onto its back.

Riding the dog like a rodeo cowboy, the furry little freak has the pet running in circles, unsure of what is going on. The man, trying to help out his furry friend, goes to kick the attacking squirrel, but hesitates. He doesn’t want to boot his dog in the process.
The squirrel is eventually thrown from the dog, and it retreats to the trees. Both the man and his pets are left baffled.
