Getting a puppy is a huge responsibility, and not many would know what they’re going to experience while it grows. When they’re small, they have to be housetrained, leash trained and know basic tricks like sit, wait, or no. Teaching a pup how to behave is very important if you want a healthy and happy dog without weird incidents. And when a woman purchased an adorable Japanese Spitz, she was ready to teach him everything and give him all he needed. She was a devoted dog owner. However, it turned out that she wasn’t actually a dog owner…

‘The fur got thicker when it reached three months old. Its face became pointy and its tail grew longer than that of a normal dog,’ said Ms. Wang. Then, she noticed one more thing that made her look for an expert’s advice.

‘Other pet dogs seemed to be scared by my pet, so I walked it on a leash,’ explained the owner. It’s tough to train a pup on your own, especially when it’s only a baby. But this baby dog wasn’t really a dog!

On the internet, many guides explain how different breeds of dogs behave or look. The Japanese Spitz is very intelligent, loyal and a loving companion. Wang’s pup was exactly like that, but he wasn’t a Spitz…

Many breeds of dogs vary in size. The Spitz has a thick and fluffy coat and slanted eyes. They love to run a lot, but will also enjoy curling in their owners’ laps. All the information on the Spitz didn’t explain this pup’s behavior!

Ms. Wang finally took her dog to see an expert in animals. She went to a local zoo, and a staff member couldn’t believe his eyes. This woman was actually walking what was supposed to be a wild animal.

When the staff member at the zoo saw her, he said: ‘Based on the size, it is a domesticated fox. It carries a smell in their body and the smell can get stronger as it grows older.’ How did this woman end up with a fox?

You see, before Ms. Wang didn’t know her dog was a fox, the pup was less inclined to eat his chicken and dog food. After finding out he was a fox, she knew he wouldn’t lead a good life in a house. He needed freedom and friends…
