"You see he is very like a dog. What a fine bushy tail he has!""I have heard of foxes in the country," said Fred. "Oh yes," said his father, "we have plenty offoxes. They live in holes in the ground-not a great many together, but only Mr. and Mrs. Fox and their little ones.
"Mr. Fox goes out when night comes, and prowls around the farmyard, and the hen roost, to see what he can get.""Oh yes," said Willie, "I saw a picture the other day of a fox running away, with a fine big goose in his mouth; I suppose he was taking it home for supper."SUMMARY
The wolf is one of the dog"s savage cousins. He is in every way like the dog, except that he is fierce and cruel. Wolves chase their prey in packs-a great many all together.
The fox is also a wild cousin of the dog. He lives in a hole in the ground. He catches and kills rabbits, fowls, ducks, and geese, and takes them home to his den to devour them.
