yes it is look in the dictionary

I don't think so.... this is from "everything grammar"

...

Speaking of sneaking, maybe that's how the word snuck got into the dictionary; I can't think of any other reason for it to be there.

Although snuck is used fairly widely, the correct past tense and past participle of sneak is sneaked. (Pittsburgh sneaked in last year. Pittsburghhas sneaked in for the last several years.) Snuck was considered to be non-standard English when people started to mistakenly use it, which, we're told, was in the late 19th century; instead of correcting it through education, it spread and has now become so entrenched in our language that many well-respected writers and speakers use it and think that it's correct.
