If you were in this situation - where a baby fox ran up to you screaming and asking for help - would you? Would you stop what you're doing, put a pause to your life, and help an innocent creature? Lots of people probably didn't when this fox cub was outside doing just that. But one person did. And her dog helped too. Maybe this dog owner stopped to help because she knew… she could sense that dogs and foxes have a history of being friends, and that, for the time that she will have the fox, it would be an entirely harmless situation. 

Maybe she knew that dogs and foxes love playing together and that dogs and foxes can be best of friends. Maybe the fact that her dog didn't instantly attack the pup was the clue that she needed that, that day, was the day to do a good thing.

    Summer Ray @SummerRay Found a baby fox on my dog walk, crying and walking up to people for help. Had no choice but to take it home and it immediately settled into my dog's crate. The fox rescuers are on their way now my good gosh look at that face • 9:28 PM Apr 16, 2024 7M Views 1.3K 11K 262K 9.3K ↑

    Knowing that this fox was desperate enough to actually ask humans for help and that so many people must have walked past it without doing anything… only makes us appreciate this person more. We hope this story inspires people, we truly do, because when an animal is desperate enough to ask humans for help, then you know the situation is truly serious.

    And plus, if you help animals in need, you might get cute pictures like these as a reward. And this… is seriously one of the cutest pictures we have ever seen in our lives. We don't know how you managed to do the right thing and not keep it as a pet.

    They Truly HATE YOU @TheyTrulyHateU Cute photo, but this is absolutely the last thing you should do: This is precisely how rabies-infected foxes act. If a fox seems to want to approach you, stay away from it. And remember: There is no treatment for rabies. . 12:35 AM Apr 17, 2024 290K Views

    Do foxes have rabies in UK? In some parts of the world, foxes carry rabies. But in the UK and most of Europe, the rabies virus has been eradicated in all animals, domestic and wild, except some species of bat.

    Susan W. Linden @SusanWLinden1 ... Always check reviews of animal/wildlife rescues before you hand over an animal to them. Some euthanize more animals than they save. It is like they get a kickback for each one they put down. 11:15 PM - Apr 16, 2024 62.8K Views
