Life has a way of throwing unexpected surprises at us, but I believe it’s all for a reason.
One such surprise, perhaps a destined encounter, happened to a woman named Sarah Sumeray, and it’s a story that will warm your heart!
As she was walking her dog around the neighborhood like any other day, Sarah noticed a small, furry creature walking down the road. She thought it was a lost puppy but as she approached it, she realized it was a baby fox!
It was all alone and clearly lost. Sarah knew she had to do something to help.
As there were no other foxes nearby, Sarah knew she couldn’t just leave it there to fend for itself. She decided to take the fox into her home and look for fox rescues.
Meanwhile, this cute, little fox relaxed in the comfort of Sarah’s home and her dog’s bed. Perhaps she sensed her new environment was safe, as Sarah wrote on X:
“Found a baby fox on my dog walk, crying and walking up to people for help. Had no choice but to take it home and it immediately settled into my dog’s crate.”
Her post quickly went viral as people couldn’t believe how kind she was to rescue this poor little baby. This unusual story captured the hearts of people who couldn’t get over this adorable fox or Sarah’s compassionate act.
Sarah continued posting updates about the fox, finally finding a rescue organization that could provide it with much needed care.
Finally, the perfect match was found! The rescuers from Fox Angels took the fox in, confirming it was just around 5 weeks old and assuring Sarah that the fox would be given the best possible care. As she tweeted:
“The fox rescuers are on their way now my good gosh look at that face.”
The rescuers explained they would help the fox adjust to life among its kind, ensuring it grows up safe and nurtured. Sarah was over the moon knowing she had played a part in giving the fox a fighting chance at life, saying:
“I’ve made it my mission to not be the sort of person that ignores an issue and leaves it to others to deal with. This experience confirmed for me that that’s the right mindset to have.”
I couldn’t agree more! Let’s hope Sarah’s example encourages others to take action and not look away if they see an animal in need.
Next time you come across an animal in need, what will you do?
