Squirrel Documentary

Tonight I met a woman who's making a documentary about her pet squirrel. She found the baby squirrel when it could fit in the palm of her hand - it was chasing after a boy with a prosthetic leg who was collecting pledges for the Terry Fox run (no joke!). She found it at a time when she was contemplating suicide. This squirrel gave her a reason to live. She nurtured it as its mother. But after a few months it was getting restless indoors, so she let it go outside. It kept having longer intervals before it would return home, then one day the squirrel just didn't come home. So the woman killed herself...No, stupid, then how would she be telling me the story?!...Anyway, it was the most intense feeling of love and worth that she's ever felt. And since she's a filmmaker, she'd shot footage of the whole thing - she even has some footage of the squirrel jumping on her head in the middle of meditation (hers, not the squirrel's). So she's cutting a documentary of the entire story. So what is stranger, truth or fiction?
