It was lovely to see her running back to her den."Natalie suspects that the animal got the watering can wedged on her head when she peered in to find out whether there was anything to eat or drink inside.She added that the fox was "lucky to be spotted and rescued so quickly" because she "could have suffered serious cuts and injuries to her head" or "may have even died if she’d have been left like that".Anyone who sees a sick, injured or trapped wild animal in need of help is advised to keep a safe distance and monitor, before calling the RSPCA’s emergency hotline for advice on 0300 1234 999.
