Looks like a fox, in my opinion. It looks to be running, and the picture is blurry, so that could possibly be why the tail looks so long.
Sherman and Star on the other hand, what cute babies! I think Star would enjoy a long brushing. :D
I never said it didn't look like a fox, or wasn't a fox :P

Well, looks like the majority opinion is skinny-tailed long-legged fox of some sort! I'll continue to keep an eye out at the park, maybe one day we'll spot him again! Shai's mom - coy-dogs? I know we have coyotes, one got hit on the road in front of my neighbors last week. :( And I haven't heard any sightings of cougars close by, although they've been seen north of here in Mich. and in Illinois.
Kfamr- believe it or not, I've brushed two grocery bags full of fur off that Star girl already! She's finally about done shedding. And while she may need a long brushing, she sure doesn't enjoy it- it takes two of us to hold her still, she reeeaaaally doesn't like being brushed! LOL!
Buttercup - LOL! definitely not a kangaroo, but here's Sherman doing his "Kangaroo" pose:

Thanks for the opinions, everyone!
The first thing I thought of when I saw the picture was kangaroo too LOL! I didn't think fox or coyote because the picture doen't look like my mind's eye of them. We saw a fox run across the road on SR 12 W coming from Kathy's and Kathy said she had seen one on her way to work one morning. This one was short and had the bushy tail. So I didn't think your picture looked like a fox but with the pictures others added, I guess there are different kind of foxes and probably is one. That hill in the dog park with the holes in it and the trees was a fox den before they filled the holes in. So it makes sense that it was a fox!
Carl just looked at the pictures and said it is definitely a fox - to him the give away is the pointy nose! (for what his opinion is worth)

well at least in Hardin County where my parents live - due to the assinine Coon Dog trials they have a high incidence of dogs being left there fore turning wild and mating with the existing coyotes. Hence - coy-dog. :)Quote:

i think its a fox too
Definitely a fox. The white tipped tail and black legs give it away as well as the nose. Looks just like the foxes roaming around here. :D
And Sherman and Star are so cute!
What did they think of the fox?
Looks like a fox to me.
Looks just like a fox to me. I see lots of foxes in my area of foxes with longer legs, skinnier tails etc...
Keep in mind that mange is very common in foxes, therefore making the coat thinner than it should be too!
