She likes fox eggs which a few weeks ago was “adopted” by the residents of a village in the Piacenza hills (which remains anonymous by choice of the inhabitants themselves). Reddish fur, surefootedness and some signs of a possible fight: injuries that can happen when you are a wild animal that has to survive among all sorts of dangers.
Reality can sometimes be more exciting than fictional stories. The correlation with the story of Red and Toby seems obvious: a deep friendship between an orphaned fox welcomed by an old lady with a heart of gold and a hunting dog who, in order to save his reddish friend, will rebel against his master .
Well, we don’t know if there is a Toby in the life of the beautiful fox who has been showing up for weeks in a village on the Piacenza hills. There are certainly people who have the same altruistic spirit as Mrs Tweed and who leave a little food and water for the wild animal every day.
A relationship of trust and mutual respect that is not to be taken for granted. A bond that defeats any barrier, so strong that the inhabitants of the country prefer not to know where the Disney fairy tale became reality. To protect a fox who wanted to trust man.
