Todd is an 11-month-old fox unlike any other. He was rescued as a cub, but has since been raised as a domestic pet by owner, Emma D’Sylva. Like Emma’s two other dogs, Todd goes for walks on a leash, sleeps in a kennel, plays with toys, and even wags his tail.

“I’ve had him since he was about four months old because his previous owners couldn’t look after him any more,” she said .
“I get people coming over to me asking if he is a fox and if they can stroke him.”
“He was a bit crazy when he first came to me last year but now he has a really strong bond with me and he will walk on a lead.”
“He is similar to a dog but he is a bit more hyperactive. He gets on with my two dogs, and wants to play with them all the time.”
“He tries to do what the dogs do but I can’t let him off the lead because he’s deaf so I can’t shout him to come back.”
“Todd went out on his first school visit the other week and the children really enjoyed stroking him while he was in my arms.”
“He’s really getting used to things now and I’m looking forward to letting more and more people meet him.”
Stay golden, Todd and Emma!
