Meet Mya The Pomeranian-Husky Cross That Looks Just Like A Small Fox

Foxes look like some of the cuddliest creatures on Earth, so it’s not fair that humans are mostly forced to admire them from afar. For a variety of reasons, these adorable animals are elusively shy and practically impossible to domesticate.

Thus, it is usually unthinkable for someone to have a fox as their pet. Luckily, we have found a ravishing alternative option thanks to the illustrious “fox dog,” which is formally known as a Pomeranian-Husky mix, or Pomsky. With an appearance that recalls the Mozilla Firefox icon as a shiny sun-baked Pokémon, this regal red canine is downright mesmerizing.

As it stands, South Florida’s Dave Lasio is blessed with the iconic epitome of this exceptional crossbreed. According to the Metro, his beloved Insta-famous pet has amassed more than 50,000 followers, and the universal acclaim makes total sense once you get a glance at this photogenic puppy pal.

While his eye-catching friend certainly loves to bask in the attention and has subsequently sparked a “fox dog” sensation, it’s worth noting that his social media page’s curators recommend visiting the humane society first.

In a lot of regions, people aren’t even allowed to own actual foxes as pets. Even in locations where domestication is legally permitted such as the United Kingdom, the activity is still widely shunned and discouraged. According to zoologists, these critters are purely wild animals at heart, and nothing can really ever change that fact about their nature.

Remember, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has explicitly advocated against adopting real-life foxes by issuing this abundantly clear warning: “Their needs are very specific and require specialist care."

In the end, Richard Bowler is one man who did not heed the alarm and chose to try his hand at a pet fox. While he is still committed to the challenging endeavor, he notes that their excessive amount of nervous energy makes the task exceedingly difficult.

In general, these sensitive mammals are not prone to aggression, but their tendency to panic can still be quite destructive and imperiling. When asked by The Telegraph what makes the process so hard, the amateur fox handler answered, “It’s because they’re so highly wired.”

In essence, the comparisons between foxes and fire Pokémon like Vulpix are extremely apt. In fact, the scientific name for a red fox happens to be Vulpes vulpes. That simply is not a coincidence. Both cuddly beasts are approximately the same size and equally temperamental; however, it is yet to be known if any of them evolve into the elusive Ninetails.

Furthermore, are there icy fairy fox variants out there à la Alola? Meanwhile, in a Pomeranian-Husky’s case, perhaps Fennekin or Delphox would make for a more accurate counterpart.

Fortunately, people who are enamored with the fox’s irresistible fluffiness no longer have to go down the avenue of attempting to tame a wild spirit. While their fuzzy appearance makes them look approachable, attention is typically the last thing a fox will want.

In contrast, the agreeably easygoing Pomeranian-Husky is a godsend. These pups are picturesque companions that possess captivating presences while emulating a divine inaccessible rarity.

We are very lucky that the magnificently well-behaved substitute is visually on par with the real thing. With this in mind, be sure to show off the stunning majesty of Mya to every dog lover in your contacts list.
