Quirky World ... Sneezy the squirrel becomes internet sensation

A US student is gaining an internet reputation as a "squirrel whisperer" for befriending, feeding and dressing up a furry little friend she has named Sneezy.

Mary Krupa said that she was able to dress up the squirrel in party hats, or get Sneezy to hold doll-sized props, simply by feeding the animal.

Ms Krupa and Sneezy’s exploits are chronicled in a Facebook page titled Sneezy the Penn State Squirrel.
