A MAN who thought he had bought a puppy received the shock of his life when he realised it was a different creature all together.<\/p>\n
The owner was stunned to discover as the animal grew it became less canine like and began to develop a bushy tail and pointed ears.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It soon became clear that what was sold to the man as a puppy was in fact a bright orange and mischievous – looking fox cub.<\/p>\n
The video of the cub – posted on Tiktok – was captioned "My funny looking dog" and showed the baby fox playing with the man's finger.<\/p>\n
The clip has been viewed more than 7,000 times and received mixed responses from viewers.<\/p>\n
Some shared concern for the cub commenting: "Baby fox you good ?"whilst another said: "That mama fox is p****d about her baby".<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But one viewer seemed jealous and fancied a cub of their own.<\/p>\n
They said: "I want one where did you buy it?"<\/p>\n
A third watcher was less than impressed and called the cute baby fox a "feral pest".<\/p>\n
This story could have taken a terrifying turn for the worst as according to Wildlife Online foxes can carry "a range of different parasites".<\/p>\n
