Other editions of book Wild Fox: A True Story

When an injured fox (crippled by a steel-jawed trap) hobbled into Cherie Mason's yard one morning, it was the start of a special and unusual relationship. The young fox had every reason to fear humans, yet was won over by Cherie's persistent gentleness˜and the tidbits from her kitchen. For half a year he was a regular visitor and became something of a celebrity in the small Maine community. Yet he always remained a wild fox. He hunted his own food and interacted with other foxes. This is Cherie Mason's poignant story of how she befriended a wild creature, knowing that his instincts would soon lead him away forever. Suffused with gentle wonder, Wild Fox speaks to the deep human longing to span the gulf between species.

A special and unusual relationship began when Cherie Mason helped an injured fox that came into her yard one winter morning.

Suffused with a gentle sense of wonder, Wild Fox speaks with great resonance to a deep and very human impulse: the longing to span the gulf between the species.
