This morning, while driving to work, I saw a beautiful young fox lying in the middle of the road. Sadly, it had passed away. 😢🦊
I couldn’t leave the little one there, so I stopped, wrapped it completely in my red checked blanket and gently carried it onto the pavement. I said goodbye and hoped that it hadn’t suffered.
Foxes form close family bonds. Although we cannot know exactly what they feel, they may search, call or behave differently when one of their family members does not return. That thought has stayed with me all day. ❤️
When I drove past later, both the fox and my blanket had gone. I hope somebody kind came along and made sure the little fox was treated with dignity.
Please be mindful of our beautiful wildlife when driving, especially in the early morning and at night. They have families too.
Rest peacefully, little fox. 🌈🦊❤️
