Disabled dog becomes blind fox's walking guide

Jack, a dog on wheels, and Pumpkin, a rescue fox, are the best of friends in the UK. Pumpkin also happens to be blind.
Despite their limitations, both couldn't be happier when out on their regular walks. Pumpkin can often be seen following Jack perhaps using the sound of his wheels as a guide. 
Pumpkin came to vet Ana's attention when she arrived with two broken legs. While typically a fox in her condition would be put down, Ana was determined to save Pumpkin's life. She took her home and even built her a makeshift hammock so she could be more comfortable. Pumpkin gradually started to recover. 
Ana also noticed Pumpkin was particularly docile due to her medical issues and would likely not survive being in the wild, so Pumpkin is now part of Ana's family. 
Pumpkin is a special case when it comes to foxes. And Ana says, she would strongly recommend against the general public keeping foxes as pets.
