PIZZA TOWN We've all been there. The last slice of pizza sits on the table calling your name. But just as you reach your hand out to grab it, so does someone else. A pizza battle ensues, with everyone fighting to determine who gets the last slice.

As it turns out, even squirrels understand this universal struggle. In this video, Mr. Squirrel is just trying to enjoy his cheesy slice in peace, when out of nowhere, he's attacked by greedy Mr. Crow.

The squirrel proceeds to defend the slice with his life, as one does when pizza is on the line. But the crow is just too quick (and also has the sneaky advantage of being able to fly) and chases the squirrel all over this parking lot in Greenwood, Nova Scotia.

As I watched, I couldn't help but cry out, "Run, little squirrel, run!" as the crow came up behind him again and again, trying to steal his delicious pizza. Watch the video and cheer on Mr. Squirrel, because after all, everyone loves an underdog.
