in memory of a baby squirrel

I wonder if squirrels grieve.

My 2 mini-labs nabbed a baby squirrel today, and although I was able to get it out of the girl dog's mouth, it was screeching, probably in pain. I was so upset and my adrenaline pumping. I penned up my 2 dogs and placed the baby up high in a tree so other dogs couldn't get to it...as I left I heard similar screeching coming from high in the tree...and wondered is that the momma grieving? ugh. so very distraught. I know it is their nature (dogs) but it makes it no easier. Hoping the baby was found by the momma and will live, but hard to say...
