When most people see a fox, they only get a fleeting glance. You see the tail of the fox as it darts into the bushes. The people who saw Basil, the fox, got much more than a glimpse. They saw Basil during the day, and he was limping.
The people who found the fox contacted Dan Martin, a wildlife rescuer. He slowly approached the fox with caution..

Martin was just a few minutes away and arrived with a towel. Martin carefully approached the injured animal. The fox was surprisingly eager to get help, and within 20 minutes, Martin had the fox securely wrapped in the towel.

Martin had to take the fox home with him and wait until the morning to go see the vet.
