Since Foxes and Dogs Became Friends, the Phrase ‘Fox and Dog Friends’ Has Overturned My New Understanding
most friends should associate it with derogatory terms. Like 'fox and dog friends' in my impression has always been a derogatory term, until I knew that foxes really became friends with dogs, I realized that 'fox and dog friends' also has another layer of meaning, which is a (positive term).
Dogs are naturally sensitive to their sense of smell, and when their owner goes hunting, dogs become the owner's reliable assistants. After the heavy snow blocked the mountains, it was a good time for hunting, so the owner took his dog into the mountains, and the dog sniffed and searched for clues along the way. Suddenly, the dog barked loudly, indicating that there was prey ahead, and the owner became vigilant.
The dog followed the owner to check, and surprisingly discovered a small, injured fox. Because the injured fox couldn't escape, it could only wait in place. The shivering fox saw the owner and the dog approaching, and its eyes glistened. The dog ran over, grabbed the fox's neck, and brought it to the owner's attention. The fox's pitiful eyes touched the owner, and he decided to take the fox home to heal.
The fox didn't know what was going to happen to it, and it was uneasy, and the dog kept looking at the owner's back to check on it. The fox whimpered, as if trying to please the dog and the owner, and the dog responded with barks. The heavy snow made the return journey difficult, and the owner took one step at a time, carrying the fox.
When they arrived home, the dog wagged its tail excitedly in front of the fox, and the dog led the fox to play together. Although the fox couldn't move, it stretched out its little paw to the dog as a sign of friendship. The dog ran to the owner and begged him to keep the fox, and the owner decided to heal the fox before releasing it. During the fox's recovery, it formed a deep friendship with the dog.
The fox looked at the dog's comfortable bed and the owner called it to share, and the fox showed a bright smile. Since the fox came to the house, the dog had found its 'friend', and it would share everything delicious with the fox, and the fox didn't mind it and enjoyed it naturally.
Finally, the fox recovered, and the owner planned to take the fox back to the deep forest to release it. The dog let out a sad bark as its friend was about to leave, and the fox took three steps and turned its head, unwilling to leave. It hadn't gone very far when the fox turned back to see the dog's sadness, and it couldn't suppress its emotions, so it turned back and ran towards the dog.
In this way, the fox never wanted to separate from the dog, so the owner had to take the fox home again. This time, the fox never separated from the dog, which completely overturned my understanding of 'fox and dog friends'.######
