I thought it was a cat, you know, at first, but it latched on to me and was not going to let go until I ripped it from my body.” His family heard the 5am commotion and ran outside and even tried to kill the fox.They were unsucessful so called in the Brunswick County Animal Services, who had no such issues.“It even tried to attack them guys,” said Gore’s Father Roger Gore. “But they kind of fought him back and everything.”The rabid fox left wounds on its victims foot and ankle.
