The Unexpected Security Guard

A jewelry store found an unusual security guard in the form of a squirrel. It wasn't planned. It just happened. And while this furry guard eventually retired, he made quite an impact during his time on duty.

Rescue and Recovery

Mehmet, the store owner, rescued Memo the squirrel and his two siblings after they lost their mother. Mehmet lives on a small farm and wanted to help the baby squirrels get healthy before sending them back to nature.

Things went as planned for Memo's brother and sister. They got better and returned to the wild. But Memo had hurt his paw and needed extra time to heal. This meant he stayed with Mehmet longer than the others.

From Farm to Jewelry Store

Since Memo needed more care, Mehmet started bringing him to work every day. At the store, something amazing happened. Memo showed a special talent for guarding the money drawer.

He spent his days inside the cash drawer, watching over the money. He only let Mehmet reach inside. If anyone else tried to touch the money, Memo would try to scratch them.

Taking the Job Seriously

Memo took his security job very seriously. In fact, Mehmet had to physically remove the squirrel from the drawer whenever store employees needed to use the cash register.

This tiny security guard had a big attitude when it came to protecting what he thought was his territory.

Happy Retirement

When Memo's paw finally healed, Mehmet helped him return to the wild where he belonged. But their story didn't end there. Memo still visits the jewelry store from time to time.

He's now happily retired from his security career. The store has moved on too, with a new cat now handling security duties.

Memo's story shows how animals can surprise us with their behaviors and bonds. What started as a rescue mission turned into an unusual workplace partnership that neither Mehmet nor his customers will ever forget.
