Gray fox in a tree

My dog Garip chased this fox up a tree. I had never seen a fox in a tree, so I was quite amazed. I have recently learned that it is a gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) that was formerly the predominant species of fox in eastern North America. They have retractable claws and can climb trees.

Thank you, Nadia and Lydie. When I heard my dog barking at it, I expected to see a cat or a squirrel. This was a great surprise.

Thanks, Andy. I had never seen one of these foxes before, let alone one in a tree. (I guess I haven't figured out ipernity's comment system yet. Sorry for the late response.)
