And puppy farm/kennel puppies do smell too.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/175987?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 16 Mar 2017 08:38:35 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:213896cb-8345-4241-b315-c2541dc43960Julie Innes<p><a target='_blank' href="https://stv.tv/news/west-central/1383117-abandoned-week-old-fox-cub-mistaken-for-puppy-by-rescuer/">https://stv.tv/news/west-central/1383117-abandoned-week-old-fox-cub-mistaken-for-puppy-by-rescuer/</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/175980?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 15 Mar 2017 22:00:42 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e616bfe8-f611-4507-aa0e-79cbf4143c2bJulie Innes<p>Definitely a fox- it even made the news!
