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 gentlenessËœand 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.
