Around the three-month mark, the puppy's appearance began to change. Its fur thickened, its face became more pointed, and its tail grew longer than that of a typical dog. Other dogs seemed afraid of it, so Ms. Wang always kept it on a leash.

To everyone's surprise, it turned out the 'dog' was, in fact, a fox. Apparently, foxes can resemble dogs as puppies, but their features change considerably as they grow older. One significant difference is the smell, which worsens as they age.

Fortunately, the zoo agreed to take in the fox. They quarantined him before introducing him to other animals, including fellow foxes, ensuring he was in the right environment and received the proper diet.
