Missing Dog Fox

Sadly the dog fox is still missing, and at this stage I have to accept that he is not coming back. A while ago he  was missing for a few nights and eventually turned up with a broken back leg, by the time of his second disappearance his leg was healed and he was able to walk normally again. I hoped that this experience may have made him more wary on the road, it seems not as the road is the most likely reason for his not now being around.

The missing fox was distinctive as he had a very large white end to his tail. Lately we have seen a new fox a few times who is very similar to our missing one, except that his tail is dark to the end, with no white and also shorter. I briefly wondered if he was the same fox and had lost his tail end to car wheels, however close observation with binoculars proved this tail end was natural and  had never been damaged. So sadly I have to accept our missing fox is dead.
