The surgery was a success. In the days that followed, the family took the fox in, and soon, she gave birth to four cubs. Throughout her recovery, the husky stayed by her side, guarding her. Ethan decided to name him CJ, in honor of the name engraved on his collar.
In time, the fox and her cubs were able to return to the wild, and the family built a shelter for them in the forest. Every weekend, Maggie, Ethan, and CJ visited them, reinforcing an unexpected bond created by fate.
