The benefit of a classical education is that you appreciate Pythagoras both for his mathematics and his love for dogs.
I realise that the wily old Greek can help with my Squirrel mission. Strength and speed are not enough. Cunning and intellect will even the competition. I remember Sun Tzu's teachings about the victor choosing the battlefield and compose a plan.
I shall need the manservants unwitting help.
First I encircle the Squirrels tree with my lead, doubling back to the manservant to enclose it in a U-shaped strap of material. Then I proceed to run around the tree, compelling the manservant to run after me to avoid the lead being entangled. By performing this orbit around the tree, evntually we should be able to saw through the trunk like a prisoner escaping through good dental hygiene, bringing down the Squirrels fortress and delivering a knockout blow to their morale.
Sadly the manservant proves inadequate to the task and we retire inside after only ten minutes of effort.
Good help truly is hard to find.
