A fox who became attached to a human after being rescued

Amazing video. Watch it when you're having a bad day.

On a semi-related note, I think this video pretty much debunks the argument that pit bulls are inherently dangerous. If a fox can be domesticated, then so can a pit bull.

I do love a good animal video. Thanks!

That’s not domesticated. This video explains it pretty well, in my view:

On the homepage, the truncated title for this thread was "A fox who became att...", and I thought it was going to be something like "A fox who became attorney general", which might have been a thread about Pam Bondi or something.

Something like that happened here in Portugal and became news:

The images of the friendship between the fox 'Linda' and Fernando, the man who saved her in Bragança
Animal started visiting his rescuer's house daily for the two of them to 'have dinner' together.

A inhabitant of a village in Bragança gained a company for dinner after saving a fox, who now visits him every day at home to eat and then returns to the wild.

Fernando Almeida has been sharing photos and videos on social networks of this unexpected relationship with the wild animal, which literally enters his home, eats from his hand and even shares the feeder with other domestic animals, like two cats.

Fernando lives next to the road in the village of Oleiros, near the city of Bragança, and told Lusa that the story of this relationship began in November, when he was driving and saw a dejected fox on the road.

He suspects that she “she must have been hit by a car, because she had no visible injuries, she must be hurt”. He took the animal home and fed her "for four or five days, until she was well, started walking and left."

"Suddenly, she disappeared there for about 15 days," he said, until, one night, Fernando Almeida was watching a movie in the kitchen and startled to see a figure in the window where he usually puts food for cats. After all, it was the fox who had returned and, “from there, he returns every day at dinner time and does not leave” until Fernando feeds him. "It seems that she know the noise of the van - when I arrive, it appears," he emphasized, in relation to the punctuality of the animal when it returns home after the workday.

The fox eats, “it is there and then it disappears until the next day”. The proximity between them even allows the animal to eat from the hand of this man, who has already taken a bite excused by the voracity with which the fox throws himself at the food.

Fernando told Lusa that he started to buy meat on purpose or collected the so-called “shavings” from the butchers for the fox. "She's crazy about chicken," he says.

Fernando also observes the behavior of the fox, who eats at the place where he puts his food, but he also picks up and “takes four or five pieces in his mouth, he doesn't know where to go and he goes back to continue eating”. "I don't know if it takes to keep", he asks.

She could be “a male fox”, but Fernando baptized her Linda and guarantees that when he calls her by name, she answers. And, just as she appears, she disappears to the mountain until the next dinner hour, because, as Fernando pointed out, “she is wild, she is not trapped”.

Nice story

Inspirational videos are one thing that always put a smile on my face, and occasionally a tear in my eye. This is such a sweet story and just so adorable. It reminds me of an experience my family had with a lone, abandoned duckling my mom rescued.

Foxes are cats trapped in dogs bodies, and they are much smaller.

My folks yard has the  gray fox stop by, and even with our housecats, nothin' serious ever happened.
