Domestic Tame Pet Fox
Ever wondered how Dogs and Cats were tamed? Well a CCCP Scientist Dmitri Belyaev wondered that too. He was able to selectively pick friendly silver foxes and over 10 successive generations he bread a tame fox which barked, wagged it's tail, had floppy ears and even had spots on its coat like a dog!

I sponsor one at an animal rescue facility in Japan. They are tame, but they still have a strong musk odor that I doubt many people would want their homes to smell like.
Hey Sean. That is a good point, people should "nose" there might be a smell! Jon
