A look at one of the more recent pictures of "Sneezy" on the Facebook account created for the little animal befriended by PSU student Mary Krupa.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- A Penn State student is gaining an Internet reputation as a "squirrel whisperer" for befriending, feeding and dressing up a furry little friend she has named "Sneezy." Junior Mary Krupa tells WJAC-TV that she's able to dress up the squirrel in party hats, or get Sneezy to hold doll-sized props, simply by feeding the animal. Krupa and Sneezy's exploits are chronicled in a Facebook page titled "Sneezy the Penn State Squirrel." So far, the squirrel is proving quite popular as its Facebook page has more "likes" that a page dedicated to the school's official mascot, the Nittany Lion. See more of Sneezy on his Facebook page.
