A wounded fox was found on the side of the road in Tunbridge Wells, England. Fortunately, she is picked up by The Fox Project, a charitable organization and brought to the vet who helps injured foxes around the area. Vets revealed she had toxoplasmosis, a disease caused by a parasite.
At this point, the vets knew that the fox would not survive in the wild, so they would either have to euthanize him or find a family willing to take responsibility for the fox.
Fortunately, a kind man named Mike Trawler agreed to take him and adopt him. They called the fox Cropper and helped restore it to health.
Cropper has been eating and drinking from dog bowls, loves to get belly massages, and even gets along with Mike’s cats. If Cropper didn’t look like a fox, you’d think he was a dog!
From that moment on, they were inseparable. Their close relationship proves that love and friendship know no kind. Cropper may have been a fox, but he and Trawler were good friends.
Unfortunately, Cropper died six years later. But thanks to Trawler, he manages to live a happy life and knows what it feels like to be loved and cared for. He also encountered another adult fox named Jack, with whom he also had a close relationship.
I took care of a wounded fox who was hit by a car with a serious head injury. I taught him to walk again. She lived and went so far as to have her own equipment. An amazing experience for both of us. This is one of many great stories that prove that love, bonding, and friendship can really exist between species!
