Badly Behaved
It was one thing when they had thought it was a dog. Jake could handle a dog. But a wild animal? He didn’t have the slightest idea of how to take care of or train such a thing. He didn’t even know if it could be trained at all. He had heard stories of pet owners with destructive pets who had to replace couches, mattresses, and other household items simply because of their badly behaved pets. Surely a wild fox would be much worse.
