A man built an incredibly close relationship with a fox he rescued - and now the pair hug and cuddle every day.
Geoff Grewcock, 74, took Sweep in as a cub seven years ago after she was surrendered to the sanctuary in a very ill state.
Geoff believes she was poisoned and he spent the following year nursing her back to health, during which time she imprinted on him.
As a result, Sweep was unable to be returned to the wild and now spends her life with Geoff at the Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary.
Geoff, the owner of the sanctuary based in Nuneaton, said: "Sweep is such a lovely, friendly fox.
