Ziva and Leopold fell in love with the little fox immediately. Our Collie acts as a foster mum for the little one. They are mostly peaceful, often playful and sometimes tired – sleeping together in one place.

The fox is not usually a domestic animal, but Dinozzo seems to be getting used to his new way of life, learning from his two four-legged friends. He's even learned how to use the cat flap to get in and out of the house!
