Not far from the fisherman’s dock, they found a small dog house which had been abandoned. It was far enough away from crowds and the town, where it would be noisy and filled with cars and other people. But still close enough that the fisherman could keep an eye on the house.
The fisherman started to look for the dog house that they had found, they hoped they would be able to find it quickly. The fox needed a new home, and Cliff was gently carrying the little fox, hoping to deliver it to its new home. The poor fox was still just sitting in the bin, anxiously awaiting.
Almost There
The fox started to look better. It was gaining strength and seemed to be satisfied after eating its meal. The fox was still feeling shy and was staying in its bed. But thankfully, it was no longer shivering or trembling. The fox seemed to be getting really comfortable with the group of friends.
They knew that everything could change in a moment. They knew that they should not touch the fox, especially since it started to get its strength back. They could easily scare the fox, and it could jump overboard or even worse, it could attack them. So they just stayed close and watched.
Reaching The Dock
After what felt like an eternity, they could finally see that they were getting closer to land. They had to start to prepare the boat to be docked once again. Thankfully, after the fox was able to eat its meal, it was able to fall asleep. However, the sleep did not last for long, and the fox got woken up by all of the noises surrounding the act of docking the boat.
Their next seemingly impossible task was to get the fox off of the boat without anything terrible happening. They started to talk to the fox calmly. They knew that the fox would not be able to understand them, but they were sure they could get through to the fox simply using calm tones of voice.
Its New Home
The hard part was over. They got the fox home. They anchored the boat and secured it to the dock. Now they had to decide what they were going to do with the fox. They knew that the fox was finally out of danger now that they had rescued it. It seemed to be recovering, as well.
They knew that as much as they would want to, they could not take the fox home as a pet. After all, the fox is a wild animal. They wanted to keep the fox close to them and close to the dock where their boat was, so they began to brainstorm where they could release the fox.
Its New Home
The fishermen were able to find the old dog house. They put the fox just a few feet away from the house and left it alone to explore the new and exciting surroundings. The fox even shook itself like a dog does. Then the fox cautiously walked out of the bin.
It seemed like pure magic. The fox went straight towards the dog house. She sat there at the entrance of the house and looked at her new friends. The three fishermen were so happy that they took the chance to save this little fox. The friends had high hopes that it would be able to fully recover and have a long wonderful life.
