If you could choose any wild animal to become a purrmanent resident in your household, which animal would it be?

After seeing the video below, our answer would undoubtedly be a fox, as we are so mesmerised by Mary, the beautiful fox who became best friends with a heartwarming hooman in London. Their story simply makes us want to go find our wild fox and befriend them for life.

This man, an Art Director and photographer named Yan, who lives in London, first shared a video about Mary the fox a few weeks ago, when she let herself into Yan's London flat. Yan didn't know how to react to the friendly fox, but quickly realized she sought friendship, as she came to visit him and his cat every single day. After a while, Yan began feeding the fox, and even named her Mary, and before he knew it, Mary became a permanent resident in his backyard.

Since Yan is a photographer, he was able to capture some beautiful moments with Mary the fox, and share them online. He filmed her in his home, playing in his backyard, and even sharing some food with his orange outdoor cat, Tim. Down below are some of the most magical shots Yan shared on social media of his pawdorable new family.
