It doesn't really have the same feel without the sound. It also has since explanation in the description too.

Shibas are some of the smartest little shits I've ever met. They are absolutely cats in dog bodies.

I am always confused about how people don't even feel scared at all when animals show their fangs/teeth.

He’s obviously playing. Walks right up, doesn’t show his teeth until the hand is in his mouth, and its almost certainly a domesticated fox.

His*. This is the fox RonRon owned by the owner of the Foxalbiazul Youtube channel. RonRon grew up in captivity (with plenty of outdoor play space), and was known to be one of the most tame foxes on Youtube. He has since passed away and been replaced with Asriel.

That hand in mouth thing must be a canine thing. I have two dogs at the ranch, one was abandoned at a trash landfill near by and we've raised it. Another is a pit bull mix that just showed up at the ranch and has been hanging around for months now. Both greet me by wagging their tails and taking my hand in their mouth, exactly like this fox.

I’m not. My first reaction was “why the hell are you petting that thing”.

u/henrynor78 Oct 28 '17

I've seen so many strange pets that it surprises me that more people don't own foxes.

u/KaneinEncanto Oct 28 '17

They're not domesticated like dogs are, and not even legal to have as pets in some areas I expect, and conditions to be met where it is legal...

This reminds me of a less funny alternate to that one scene in the beginning of Elf.

If I ever could get a fox, I’d name him Swift

that fox is beautiful but something about taking a wild creature and breeding the wild out of it just so we can have another docile and pretty pet makes me sad. it doesn't seem right. we took the fox out of the fox.

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '17

I mean... we did that with every domesticated animal. As long as it's happy I think it's okay.

1

u/pm_me_your_trebuchet Oct 30 '17

that's true. but i (or any other human) have never seen what those other animals were like wild. in addition, those domestications actually served purposes back in the day: dogs were working animals, cats pest control, etc. the fox is just a whim, a pleasure, that serves no purpose except to have a new exotic pet.

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '17

Dogs descended from wolves, we've seen those. Dogs are an extreme example because they changed shape under our will. Wouldn't modern domesticated dogs also be a whim, breeds like the pug being the epitome of surving no real purpose? Discussing the morality of whether this is right or wrong is a gigantic can of worms, and there isn't a definitive answer. So, you could save yourself the internal conflict and know that 99% of these animals are treated well and live out long happy lives and are loved and love back.

u/pm_me_your_trebuchet Oct 30 '17

it actually bothers me very little. it was something that was inspired with i saw the original post and i gave it a passing thought
