LOVE your post. About 5-6 years ago, a friend rescued a baby squirrel who's mom and sibling had been killed by a hawk...this baby was dropped by the hawk. He had a broken leg and was in pretty bad shape. She has dogs, so she gave him to me to see if I could save him. Well, it took some doing, but a few weeks later "Stash" was doing pretty good....I was amazed. I expected him to be much like a baby rabbit...not very friendly, very wild. Instead, he was like a puppy. He came when called, loved sitting on us and playing in our hair, took food from our fingers, even learned some basic commands. I eventually set him free to join his local community. I would never recommend going out and getting a squirrel as a pet (he was very destructive), but I would also never hesitate to take on another rescue if it presented itself. They are intelligent, friendly, gentle creatures...
