A MAN who thought he had bought a puppy received the shock of his life when he realised it was a different creature all together.
The owner was stunned to discover as the animal grew it became less canine like and began to develop a bushy tail and pointed ears.
It soon became clear that what was sold to the man as a puppy was in fact a bright orange and mischievous – looking fox cub.
The video of the cub – posted on Tiktok – was captioned "My funny looking dog" and showed the baby fox playing with the man's finger.
The clip has been viewed more than 7,000 times and received mixed responses from viewers.
Some shared concern for the cub commenting: "Baby fox you good ?"whilst another said: "That mama fox is p****d about her baby".

But even after her owner found out that she had welcomed a carnivorous cat into her home she decided to keep Luna as she had previous experience with big cats.
