He shared a small enclosure with another fox named Unelma (meaning "dream" in Finnish). Every evening, Otto liked to sleep on a high shelf inside a wooden hut. He appeared healthy, lively, and playful. However, the marks left by his time in a fur farm were profound. Otto is the inspiration for the mother fox in this story, and he is one of the very few fortunate foxes! In reality, it is extremely difficult for fur animals to escape from farms. They spend their entire lives in small cages, with no opportunity to express their natural behaviors or develop survival skills. Farms also set up traps to recapture any animals that manage to escape. Love Them, Don't Own Them The inspiration for the little fox in this story came from a white fox cub I encountered in Beijing. Lost and alone on a busy street in the vast city, he was found by a kind man who initially mistook him for a puppy due to his sharp features. Was he a kitten? Not quite... A trip to the animal hospital revealed he was an arctic fox cub. His cries were exceptionally high-pitched and faint, as if calling for his family. Amidst the city's traffic, leaving him on the street would have put him at grave risk of being hit by a car. We didn't know how to care for a fox cub. But if we released him into the countryside, could he survive on his own? 𓃥 Product Specifications ISBN: 9789574398928 Specifications: Hardcover / 48 pages / 23 x 26 x 1 cm / General Audience / Full Color / First Edition Paper: Aesthetic Paper, Cinematography Paper Place of Publication: Taiwan 𓃥 Notes The purchased book does not include the small stamp or postcards.
