I live in an area where the arctic foxes are more than 1/4 domesticated.
When I see them on runs they usually watch from a distance but a few times they run toward me and even trot along side me for a few strides.
I kind of love it. There are times when the foxes also come up and, like dogs, insinuate they want to be friendly and pet. I am concerned what to do. I feel the wrong move would cause them to bite but petting the right one might bring our relationship closer.
I can already feel their presence when they are around despite not being able to see them. They are very spiritual animals.
