(WFLA, NBC NEWSCHANNEL) A Florida man is fighting to keep his emotional support squirrel, and facing possible eviction from his Clearwater Beach condominium as a result.

Ryan Boylan and Brutis are inseparable.

He rescued her last year after Hurricane Matthew.

"Ever since then I mean, oh my God, I can't imagine not being around her," said Boylan.
