We came home Friday night from a Football game and my dogs were sniffing all over the front of my truck. I figured another dog must have marked my tire while parked at the game. The next morning I went outside to find the dogs still sniffing. There were also some new scratches on my hood and fenders where they'd had their paws up on my truck.
I figured there must be something in there so I put the dogs in the kennel while I checked the truck over. Well it took me a while but I eventually found out what it was. A young squirrel. I thought it was dead, but it moved when I gave it a little poke with a stick. After I got hit to abandon his little hiding place he ran and hit somewhere around the top of the transmission. Feeling pretty certain he as away from any moving parts I started the engine and he hit the ground running.
I don't know if it hitched a ride from the game or hid there to escape the dogs as I arrived home the night before.
