A Husband's Dream?

Fla. woman attacked by fox, then shot in the leg

MORRISTON, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a Levy County man accidentally shot his wife while trying to hit a fox that had attacked her. The couple told deputies they had spotted an animal in their yard Friday morning and went outside to see what it was.

The fox bit the woman on the left leg and wouldn't let go, so she told her husband to get a gun.

The man fired a .22-caliber rifle seven times, killing the animal but also hitting his wife in the lower right leg.

The woman was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The dead fox will be tested for rabies, but authorities say the results won't be available until next week.


What kind of wife in her right mind gives her husband permission to take a shot at her, let alone 7?

But if you are the husband you got to take the shot. I mean how many chances are you going to get to do that.

Don't worry Honey, the only fox that's going to be chewing on your leg will be me.
