The source of the Finnegan Squirrel story

 Penny Bianchi read Bill Trankle's warning about  releasing Finnegan, a dog- and people-friendly squirrel, into the wild. She tracked down the story and found it came from a CBS News online release posted on October 14th. [see link below.] I see in the story that Debby Cantlon does, indeed, plan to release the squirrel eventually. I'll try to contact the show and see if I can reach Debbie. But perhaps a reader of this website has some contacts at CBS News. Actually, I just thought of a CBS correspondent I know. I'll try her first.


Dear Marie,

Hi!  I think this was the source and maybe you might know how to contact them to contact her!  No question that she cannot let this squirrel go!  A pet squirrel is right!!!

Thanks so much...love your website!

Penny
