Friendly fox becomes a household pet

Cropper is the perfect pet - friendly, and loyal and he likes a cuddle. But Cropper is no typical man's Best Friend, but a wild-born fox.
Six years ago Cropper was found outside a hairdresser's shop in Kent, England. He was badly
injured after a fight with a dog. He had a disease called Toxoplasmosis that affected his memory. It can be deadly for foxes as it makes them incapable of surviving on their own in the wild. Fortunately, he was taken in by Mr. Trowler who nursed him back to health and gained his trust.
Now Cropper behaves more like a domestic dog than a creature of the wild. He can often be seen taking long walks with Trowler -- happy to trot at his heels or go on an extended leash when they get into town.
In a country where people often view foxes with suspicion, Trowler thinks Cropper can help people to understand and appreciate their counterparts in the wild. Trowler thinks their unique relationship is down to patience and trust over time.

I love how this fox acts like a chill cat

Imagine finding a Giant who feeds you, bathes you, gives you a cozy spot in his house, and gives you massages any time a day and you can take a nap whenever you wish. I would have the look on my face that this fox has 😆

Best way to wear fur : still alive and kicking. This is by far the chillest fox I ever saw.

Besides all the cynicism about the clever fox finding a human servant. You can clearly see the loving connection they share with each other.

I'm convinced that the fox is a combination between the cat and dog.

I had a fox friend for several years. I used to own an acreage and left scraps for her kits when times were tough. She eventually followed me home and would sneak in through the cat doors to raid the cats' food. At the same time I was raising an abandoned skunk baby who I named Suzie. Once they discovered that it was warm inside when the weather was cold and miserable outside, they decided to move indoors full time. Meanwhile, the magpies would follow the cats, fox, and skunk around each moulting season and pull out any loose fur, and the cats, fox, and skunk, would let them do it to their heart's content. In my view it's all about empathy.
