Man's new best friend

Cropper is the perfect pet - friendly, loyal, and he likes a cuddle. But Cropper is no typical Man's Best Friend, but a wild-born fox.

Six years ago Cropper was found outside a hairdressers in Kent, badly injured after a fight with a dog. He had a disease called Toxoplasmosis that affected his memory. It can be deadly for foxes as it makes them incapable of surviving on their own in the wild.



Fortunately, he was taken in by Trowler who nursed him back to health and gained his trust.

Now Cropper behaves more like a domestic dog than a creature of the wild. He can often be seen taking long walks with Trowler - happy to trot at his heels, or go on an extended leash when they get in to town.
