Yesterday my wife and I were on our way to do some local shopping and came on this along side the road. At first I thought it was a puppy and turned around to check it out. He/she was not frightened and was no more than 6 feet from the car. Someone had seen the animal before because they left food, a rug and a Have-a-heart trap? My wife said it almost appeared as though he would get in the car if I opened the door. I moved the up the road about 200 ft so I could call 911 but Animal Control was already on scene. The fox promptly went into a culvert that was close by. The officer said it was a silver fox, I don't think so. The ears looked to short to be a color phase of a regular fox. What say you?
