We're surrounded by doom and gloom so often in the media these day's it's just nice to come across a story that gives you a "warm and fuzzy".
Here's Roxy's story.
The fox and hound! Rescued Roxy becomes best pals with dogs at animal sanctuary (and even joins them for walkies)
Roxy found nearly strangled hanging by a rope from a bridge
She walks on a lead, plays with dog toys and only eats cooked chicken
Foxes and hounds are usually enemies, but Roxy has lived for 13 years alongside dogs, going for 'walkies', playing fetch and chewing bones.
She was rescued by staff at Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary, after being found almost strangled hanging off a bridge from rope around her neck.
But as volunteers at the sanctuary nursed the red fox back to health, they noticed she had canine tendencies and was used to human interaction.
When Roxy had recovered enough to be released back into the wild, staff were worried she had become too domesticated to survive - and were forced to let her stay at the sanctuary full time.
Lucky Roxy now enjoys a dog's life - playing with squeaky dog toys, chasing balls, and chewing on bones in the sanctuary's gardens.
She enjoys a daily walk with the centre's dogs, and walks to heel on the lead.
She even snuggles up to staff for tummy tickles and wags her tail in appreciation.
