Joe Russell of 264 Stewart St., who picked up his furry friend at the corner of Stewart and King Streets, says that he has trained up to seven squirrels to seek nuts from his back pocket. However, due to traffic along the street, the number has been reduced to three over the years through accidents. Here Mr. Russell attracts one friendly but cautious squirrel, always on the lookout for something, usually a nut. And after the handout is taken, it's up to the pocket, where there is sure to be more, then a flying leap to safety, just in case a problem may follow such a crunchie piece of luck.
