He is a cutie. I kind of miss the foxes we had around the area while I lived up in Alberta (Canada) but here in Washington state we have raccoons. They fill the same eco-niche as foxes and are similarly fun to look at but the dogs have been bitten a couple times from trying to run them off the property. Raccoons aren't very fast but they can be mean and tough.
I don't think we get many attacks by foxes on people, but small children may be at risk. I just heard a friend lost some chickens to a fox.
Yeah, the raccoons generally don't bother people - just pets or trash cans.
It can be rough to loose the animals! My folks have lost chickens and ducks to coyotes. It's never fun but it's really strange how some birds seem to always get away when all the others eventually get taken. My folks have had one bird for a bunch of years now. She's has been impossible to catch by people or coyotes. She hangs around and they feed her even though she is long past good for anything. They figure that if she could hang out for this long she deserves to be cared for!
