You saved my life, 'said Toby Tod, and also that of my master. Are you okay?

    - Oh, yes! Tod replied. But I'm so tired I can not take even one step further.

    The two animals looked and realized that their friendship was reborn puppies. Then came the crack of a shotgun being loaded, Amos Slade had gotten rid of the trap and now pointing his gun at fox exhausted. But Toby was placed before the body of his friend, protecting him, until at last the hunter lowered his gun.

    'Okay, let's go home, Toby Slade accepted.

    - Never forget you, Tod! Nor does this day, 'said Toby, before moving to its owner.

    -Nor I you, Toby, 'said Tod.

    Then he returned to find Tod Vixey and, meeting the two, they knew they would never be separated. From the hill on which they lived, the two foxes liked looking at the valley where Tod had spent his childhood and where he had such good friends. Down there were Mama Owl, Dinky and Jawbreaker and especially Toby, his friend forever ... And even the air that seemed to announce that friendship up ... between a dog and a fox!
