He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him

Do you remember the cartoon Red and Toby which talks about the unusual friendship between a dog and a fox? Well, a similar story exists in reality. Starring the fox Marley and the bulldog Ernie.

When Pauline Ashanolla, who lives onIsle of Wight in England, rescued a critically ill fox cub (whom she named Marley), wasn't sure how her dogs would react to the newcomer.

Initially worried, the woman soon had to change her mind. His bulldog Ernie, initially frightened by the fox, slowly began to make friends with this animal so different from him.

After a first moment of dread, Ernie started sleeping a little closer to Marley and then, the more time they spent together, the more tightly the two animals bonded.

“They do everything together, they are inseparable - said Pauline - They play with each other all day, sleep together every night, take walks together”.

The woman also added other very tender details about the friendship between the dog and the fox:

“If I take Ernie for a walk without Marley, she gets so excited when she gets home. She goes crazy, she absolutely loves him. I call Ernie Marley's babysitter, if I have to do something or I'm a little tired, I tell him go play with your little sister. It's so nice to see how well they bonded, it's a rather unusual friendship "

Doesn't that impressively remind you of the story of Red and Toby told in the Disney cartoon? A friendship that really seems destined to last forever.

However, Paulina has made it known that this story, however sweet and tender, it must not encourage people to adopt foxes as pets.

“Marley has had to take drugs for so long that I can't release her. If she went back to the wild now, she couldn't survive. But I don't think foxes are supposed to be pets. I don't want people to see that I have a fox and think they should do the same "
