Two baby squirrels were found on the side of the road in south India and would have died if this kind vet hadn't helped out.

When Merlin Raj, a vet who lives in Pasingapuram, Tamil Nadu, found two baby squirrels on the side of the road, he decided to take them home.

Footage filmed on May 26 shows Dr. Raj looking after the animals.

Dr. Raj said: "I named these squirrels Aaroo and Aample. I feed them milk using syringes. They hold the syringes, they lick and drink the milk.

"Both squirrels are now good enough to live in the wild but they still roam around my house and it gives me immense pleasure and joy when I see them."
