Friendly fox accompanies YouTuber on walk home

Dec 3, 2016, 12:45 PM

Dogs are widely considered to be man’s best friend, but one fox is apparently trying to change all that.

YouTuber Henry Hoffman was enjoying his walk home when he was befriended by a fox looking for some company. The animal immediately takes a liking to Hoffman, and continues to accompany him the rest of the way home.

On the way, Hoffman and the fox seem to playfully bond over a game of tug-of-war with a backpack. At one point, Hoffman even picks up his new friend and begins petting its head — much to the enjoyment of the fox.

Hoffman chronicled the entire experience with a three-minute video, which has amassed nearly 250,000 views on his YouTube page.

Although the fox eventually runs away from Hoffman and back where it came from, both surely made a friend they will never forget.
