The Return of an Old Friend

A few years ago, we noticed a young fox in the woods with a bad case of Sarcoptic mange. The fur was missing on nearly 50% of its body and its poor tail had hardly any fur. The cold weather was only a few months away. Thankfully, we were able to seek assistance from a nonprofit group and were able to effectively treat the fox who we affectionately call Hot Dog. Her fur grew back before winter. She occasionally comes back to visit but I hadn't seen her in a long time. Most of the foxes we see are just passing through and never return. I guess she was wondering why I was crying when I saw her. It made my day to know she was okay and that she still recognized me.
