That fox looked so disappointed at the end...

Aw the poor fox was like "why you leave me?" so cute

The fox is calling the dog back to play with him.

I went camping in July and heard this sound from my tent. I was shitting bricks. I thought someone was being murdered and that I was next lol.

I really love how the fox is alerting the dog from danger (the dog's masters)! I think it's cute!!

He wants to play some more, and he's calling his doggy pal to come back out. What a sweet fox.

Well that definitely wasn't a vixen scream that was an alarm bark. It see's the dog as a friend and was warning it of the human's it sees as danger.

Foxes body language definitely says, "Come play with me!"

Thanks for posting and for not being hysterical about seeing a wild animal in your yard. Beautiful fox.

We came home last night to find my dog playing with a fox. So awesome!

What i see : enormous yard.

Awww, that's super cute, poo foxi wanted a friend. You see even animals feel lonely and want to socialize and have friends 🙂😌

Awwwwwwww that fox was having fun 😂

Hilarious! You solved a mystery for me. I have a family of 7 foxes living behind my house. I have heard this exact scream at night many times and at first thought it was human, but realized it sounded more animal. It's a relief to know the foxes are not in distress, just trying to get attention, like this fox just wanted your dog to come back out and finish playing.

I think the fox wanted to play and the dog wasn't in the mood.

There's no doubt in my mind this vixen was definitely interested in checking Kirby out. It looked to me like she was trying to play with him, and even sniffed him up to see he was all about, and at the end she was like "Wait.. hey? Where are you going? Aww, come back!".

I hear this noise when I sleep over my parents house and my dad said it was the horse up the street lol

What does the fox says? UAAAAAAAAOU

Awww I know that the foxes bark sounds really spooky and scary but he was just saying "Come back and Play!" That reminds me of that Disney movie the fox and the hound what a playful and friendly young fox!!!

The Fox & the Hound...wow, that's adorable. XD

the fox sound like its screaming NOO!

You have a beautiful yard :) loved seeing such a playful fox

That was sad, the poor thing is lonely. The fox missed/misses its new friend and wanted him/she to come back. That could be y the fox was making some noise so the dog would go back and that the fix probably didn't want to be alone anymore.

We had a fox that would bark at my dog Digger,run around him and roll on the ground.Foxes are solitary creatures,but they love to play like any other dog.He wasn't probing the dog's weaknesses.Coyotes and wolves however will.Spent many a night in the mountains of Washington State,and lived on some remote part of the Upper Peninsula.Learned a thing or two about foxes and wolves.Great video,always nature at It's finest.

Ok this was the coolest friggin video I've seen in like 3 months on KZfaq... and now my mutt who's mostly hound is going nuuuuuts. The red foxes by me scream at about 315 AM pretty much once or twice/week anywhere from April through November. I'm assuming the only reason your Kirby didn't freak is because he's a shepherd and smarter than all of us. Thanks for the video!!!

the bark at the end is a ( DANGER BARK) ..cute :)

That's a vixen mating call. She's in love with your dog.

My Dalmatian’s best girlfriend was a fox he played with first when they were both no bigger than a cat. :). True love. She visited him almost every night. The night we were moving away it was as if she knew and just cried and screamed that night like never before.

So cool...never heard a fox before 4:05 saying "Kirby, COME BACK" "KIRBY, I want to play" , "KIIRRBBY". Kirby acts like a really nice mellow pooch. Awesome (kinda scary at first) video.

I’m sure they’re both long gone, but this was so cute!

Great you went out side when you could. Yes the fox wanted a companion to play with. Love the fox calling your dog.

Beautiful video and you are blessed to have such a beautiful yard too.

I like this greenish place, so tranquil, beautiful, and peaceful.

Did the fox think the dog was another fox?

Thank you for posting. So special. You live in a beautiful place.

This was beautiful, I love Animals.

The fox is screaming because hes calling the dog to come back and play with him How ADORABLE

I hate that he feels that he cant go up on the porch and play with him. Heart breaking

I don't think that I ever have heard a howling sound from a fox before. Interesting. Looks like the fox really took an interest in your dog.

That fox wants some loving. Amazing how he calls your dog right away. Like hey man I wanna play, where u goin! Animals with personality plus both dog n fox

I love the flower boxes on your fence. Pansies, right? Beautiful. Now I want that kind of fence!

The sound at the end finally made me realize what animal crossed my path, when I was on my way home a few years ago late at night. But it was so fast, that I just saw a black blur 5 feet in front of me xD

What's scary? Hearing a fox scream at 2am, when you're outside all by your lonesome.

arrg this reminded me of the disney's film "the fox and the hound" :((

Fox is like, "I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND!!!"

Maybe the fox wanted to play some more and started saying ''COME BAAAACK'' XD

*The Fox:* I am speed! *The Dog:* Send help, this weird dog is chasing me!

This is adorable, we have a lot to learn from animals 🦊❤🐶 The fox seems upset when the dog left. Awwww lonely fox....

Didn't know that foxes could be so playful. Charming.

When all you want is a friend and everyone ignores you

That fox went from adorable to demonic with that horrible scream

Beautiful yard !!! Awesome fox.

It looks like the fox was sad at the end. He lost his playmate.

Fox is like "AAAAARRRRRR PLAY WITH ME DOG! YAAARRRRR"

Well look at that, a fox and a hound playing together

both gorgeous creatures....but those fox screams are bone chilling @ 3am when you've never heard a fox scream before...

I think the fox was a female, and was maybe scouting for a boyfriend. Kirby was going from spot to spot where the fox had been, likely to sniff her scent. I wouldn't have thought so until she barked at him. Foxes do bark for other reasons, but mostly to attract a mate. Sometimes a female will bark 8-10 hours straight and if it's while you're trying to sleep, it is a pain in the butt. Foxes are becoming less fearful of man as we encroach more upon their territory. They are being domesticated in Russia and they have breeded some new foxes with at least two layers (generations) of domestication.

This is what the fox and the hound reboot would look like

the fox goes wow not ringdingdingerinng

Awwww the fox was calling the dog to come back and play.❤️☺️

What a gorgeous yard!

Fox at the end : HEY COME BACKKKKK DONT LEAVE ME FRIENDDDD EEEE

Never knew a fox could make that sound ! It sounded like a woman screaming....it sounded bloodcurdling!

Awesome! Our outdoor cats and the local raccoons love playing together! The mama raccoons even let the cats lick their newborn babies!

Geez what a beautiful back yard!

The fox wanted to play and didn't want Kirby to back inside ...

definitely in heat -- the way she keeps laying down & stalking him... aww... lol

Oh, my goodness! I was awakened from sound sleep around 4 am this morning and heard this EXACT same sound. I thought one of my neighbors across the road from me was in distress, so I called 911. They sent two squad cars. The "screaming" had already stopped by the time they arrived, but they hung around for 15 minutes or so listening to make sure everything was okay. I kind of feel foolish now for calling, but how was I to know it was not a person in distress. I hope the fox was not in trouble. Thanks for posting this. I just learned something new today. ;-)

Oh, how precious! The fox wants to get closer and play but the dog is not sure. The wonderful world of animals, very precious!

Playful fox. Beautiful.

poor fox just wants to play, but doggo like “why u yellin’ at me??”

Foxy is calling, perhaps he is hungry and lonely

Okay, now I know what that sound is. Thanks for posting this.

Probably some of the only footage existing I've seen at least, of a wild fox interacting with a domesticated dog. A glimpse of cousins playing, essentially. And the fox calling at the dog to come back is something I have never seen or heard of before. I know they make the "vixen's call" quite often, regardless of sex or reason .(My opinion is this is their "bark". Foxes make some weird noises.) Thank you for sharing. As a side story, my father's property has a shed that a family of foxes have burrowed under. I was lucky enough to witness them a few times on my camping trip there. They own a Rott shepard mix and she always goes ballistic at them when in the house. But once when outside in the afternoon, she froze. She was alert as soon as she spotted the fox. I had chased the poor critter off, as the little guy was curious about the pots and pans I had just spray painted as targets. Being foxes are curious creatures and explore the world with their mouths, he began to nip at it. I didn't want the little guy getting poisoned so I shooe'd him away, depsite beign enthralled by these magnificent creatures.

This fox has to be wild; but, he sure does seem to have had some positive interaction with dogs before. I can't believe he's be so "friendly" with your dog, otherwise.

i luv this video, fantastic footage, good on you!!! That fox is soooo cheeky, gorgeous!!! Sweet temperament of you doggy too!

Smart fox to keep your distance from people. You don't want to become domesticated, believe me.

I came here from Linkin Bark lol

The cute fox is like "where are you going bro?! Come back!"

Precious canine babies.

Foxes are just wild dogs. They have the same desires. I used to have a fox that used to come around and play with my cat. He loved chasing the cat and then the cat would chase him and he would come back every night. Lived down in this little swampy area. Very cute. I know multiple people who own them as pets and they are so cute. Especially the fennec foxes that are tiny with huge ears. Whenever I sell my condo and buy a house with some property, I may get one or a raccoon. Or maybe both. I’m sure they would love to play together.

My dog plays with the Fox in my yard too. The Fox screamed because she wanted her friend to play more.

Poor fox, he just wanted to play more.

you are very kind and loving people

I had to look up other interactions with dogs and foxes because a very similar encounter happened this morning with my dog and a red fox

wow! that is gr8 that I finally know what a fox sounds like

Awesome. I didn't realize I had never known what a fox sounded like. I was led here by the bizarre and addicting "What Does The Fox Say" by Ylvis. The fact that almost any animals can be seen to play and hang out with each other gives one hope that Humans will someday follow suit and put aside the idiocy of racial tension and just coexist in peace and fun. :) thanks guys that video made me smile.

I love fox and dog they are my favourite animal in canidae family

Come and play with me the fox says !

foxes are so beautiful!

Foxy just wants to visit his cousin.

I LOVE your flowers and planter boxes

that was such a cool video.. man that fox is something else.. what a funny lil animal.. and his scream is like a cross between a cat and a dog. Man that's something else!

The first two minutes of this video was like watching the old cartoon of Ralph and Sam. Ralph is sneaking all around and Sam the Sheepdog is sitting there like he's oblivious. That's not a scream at the end, he's yelling his name. Raaaalph! Raaaalph!

Lonely fox...where are all the foxes that they should seek friendship or connection with domestic dog??? Calling the dog??? Hey, where are you? Lol.

Fox wanted to play so bad!

Dogs and foxes are from the same family. They get along really good

Aww that's so cute like fox and the hound :)

Awwwww....😟 Poor little fox wants a friend so badly! I had no idea foxes weren't aggressive killers! We live in a rural area and I hear them often at night, every now and then will see one in the morning. I won't fear them now.

The fox and the hound playing together.
