How do red foxes interact with humans?

Answer 1

We have a family of fox living in our backyard... and have had zero problems with them. Our dog doesn't like being tied up though, she is a bassett hound and she is tied up to protect the babies. Our kids and ourselves have been in the yard when they are out and they don't run from us but they keep a safe distance. I have no fear of these animals hurting us because they are healthy and keep the rodent population down.
