Yeah Missouri!

"The albino squirrels come from Marionville, Mo.," he said. "Their Lions Club is in charge of albino squirrels. I've been a Lion member for 40 years. Several years ago I saw a magazine article about the 'Albino Squirrels of Marionville.' I wrote the Lions Club and said, 'If one of your squirrels gets a heart attack and dies or gets killed by a car, if you wouldn't mind, would you mail it to me?'"

Sanfillippo soon forgot about his letter. But six months later the family beagle, Sammy Boy, started going nuts. "I said to my wife, 'Honey, did you feed the dog today?' " Sanfillippo recalled. "She said, 'Yes.' He had been outside already. I said, 'My gosh, he doesn't act like this every day.' So I took him off the leash, and he went right to the front door. A UPS box was sitting at the front door. Sammy Boy could tell what was in the box."

Eight dead albino squirrels had landed from Missouri.
