Re never know if he will attack xxxxxxxxxxxxx could equally be a she fox but I don't think Asha you need have any fear of attack from either unless of course the animal feels threatened and cornered, then MAYBE?. I have mixed feeling re them here, which they are in abundance, usually take no notice of humans, or at least those they perceive as presenting no threat to them. I came across one on a path eating bread, saw me approaching nearby, stopped eating momentarily, then returned to eating, not bothered at all. Animals have a 6th sense re who or what presents a threat. Some years ago when I was friendly with an old chap in St. Leonards Rd and who had got passed the age he could take his terrier dog out for exercise, so I did , normally late in the evening as the dog would attack every other he could, male OR female and other dogs seemed to know he was coming as long before we drew any where near their walled gardens, they would bark furiously, BUT one afternoon, a cat was lying further up the pavement, saw us coming and whereas a cat seeing a dog coming would hightail it for safety, this cat just simply stayed put, did not budge at all, and Prince drew close and just walked past within a foot and took no notice of the cat at all. So somehow that cat sensed Prince was no threat, most unlike dog - cat situations and which sensing proved correct. There must have been some " telepathic " communication going on. Had it been another dog, all hell would have been let loose.
