A forgotten almond brought P’nut the Squirrel’s grieving owner to tears.
Mark Longo, whose furry internet sensation was euthanized by New York state officials after a controversial raid at his upstate farm, said it was P’nut’s favorite snack.
“P’nut put his almonds all over my house, all over my pants and my clothes,” Longo told The Post during an exclusive interview this week.
“It’s just a little reminder of, you know, him always being here.”
Longo and his wife, Daniela, have been mourning since the state Department of Environmental Conservation raided their 350-acre farm and animal refuge near Elmira, and euthanized P’nut and his raccoon pal Fred over alleged rabies concerns.
The Longos have demanded answers, blaming a “rat” who tipped off the DEC, speculating it was someone jealous of the couple’s financial success.
