Three Legged Chase: Three-Legged Fox vs Three-Legged Dog
Frank Lowther of Guysville recalls a March dawn about 15 years ago when a red fox attacked his Red Rhode Island rooster and hens at the corn crib. He shot, released the dog, and watched the fox flee with a hen while both animals limped on missing limbs. The dog, itself a three legged survivor from a mowing accident, pursued as four hens were killed and the fox vanished, leaving Lowther to reckon the fox would need to dig mice the rest of its life to repay him.
