Always a heart warming piece of news, the tale of re-union with a lost pet, 7 years....that's a long time to be missing.
I hope they now keep the ginger one indoors.

Great read, it reminds me of the fox who ended up on a cargo ship from Liverpool to America

Not familiar with that fox story, but it must have had a good ending, if you mentioned it; still, the fox was not a pet by any chance, was he?

@Mars Here's that fox story and it's quite the feelgood story too.

@Retro, thank you for posting this story. It is wonderful to know that the animal is now being cared for.
It was good and reassuring to read that the Bronx zoo in New York said in a press release that they will eventually find an appropriate long-term home for foxy. Great stuff
