A domestically raised fox has adopted canine mannerisms, including barking, after growing up alongside a dog in northwestern China.

The funny video was filmed in Lanzhou City in Gansu Province on April 29.

Dubbed Zaizai by its owner, the fox was purchased as a month-old cub from a breeding farm last year and has since lived among dogs.

Its diet primarily consists of dog food, and its daily routine mirrors that of its canine companions. Consequently, Zaizai has come to identify itself as a member of the dog pack, even emitting barks instead of typical fox cries.

Remarkably, the fox also takes on the responsibility of guarding the premises, alerting its human counterparts with distinctive barks upon detecting unusual occurrences.

近日，甘肃兰州，一只人工饲养的狐狸因为从小就和狗一起生活，变得“狗里狗气”的，不但神情动作像狗，就连叫声也被狗狗给同化了。
据主人介绍，狐狸名叫崽崽，是去年在养殖场买的满月幼崽，从小和狗子一起长大，平时也是吃狗粮为主，习惯以及作息时间跟狗狗都是一样的，所以平时里它也总认为自己是狗狗了。它平时也会像狗狗一样看家护院，发现异常情况，会“哇哦哇哦”叫。
