Things aren’t always what they appear to be, and sometimes that can be a very good thing. Recently, some people found what they thought to be a dog abandoned in a park in Liverpool. After not so long, though, they realized that the little creature they’d just rescued was, in reality, a fox!
He put the baby fox in a ventilated box with a heating pad and left him outside at the park. Then Paul staked the place out for two nights, hoping all the while that the mother would return for her baby.

Not knowing what to do, and seeing no sign of the fox’s mother, the rescuers got into contact with Paul “The Fox Man” McDonald. Paul works as the fox management consultant for the locally-based Freshfields Animal Rescue.

Paul loaded the fox into his car and decided to take him back to the park to see if together they would be able to find the little guy’s mother. When an outright search wasn’t working, Paul came up with something ingenious.

When this, too, failed Paul and the fox had to accept that the mother wasn’t returning. They opted for plan B. Paul knew that the baby still needed to socialize with others of it’s species so that he could one day return to the wild.

He took the little fox to the Stapeley Grange Wildlife Center, which had a population of foxes that the baby could live with until it was time to go back into the wild. And you know what? That baby couldn’t be happier!
