It may sound like the plot of a Disney movie，but Todd，a fox，really does think he’s
a dog.The animal was tamed after being rescued as a 4-month-old baby and was raised
as a pet by owner Emma D’ Sylva.Since then the lovable fox has picked up a number
of dog characteristics such as tail wagging (摇尾巴)，playing with toys and even
walking on a lead.
The 11-month-old animal accompanies Emma’s pets Sky and Oakley on walks ，
drawing double attention from other dog-walkers when they see Todd moving quickly
through the local park with Sky and Oakley.They thought as a fox，he has too many
dog characteristics.He also sleeps and plays with the other dogs and even wags his tail
during its feeding time.
“I’ve had Todd since he was about 4 months old because his previous owners
couldn’t look after him anymore.He was a bit crazy when he first came to me last
year，but now he has a really strong bond with me.He will run up to me wagging his
tail when I go to feed him，” Emma，25，from Stanfield，said.
“Sometimes he comes into my room，but he prefers being outside.He gets on well
with my two dogs，and wants to play with them all the time.If people or dogs come up
to him in the park，he will lie down at first and freeze but after a few seconds he will
sniff around the dogs or sit patiently.”
Emma takes some of her 40 pets into schools and care homes to enable children and
the elderly to interact with a range of animals.Emma’s husband，Steve Johnson，
added，“Todd went out on his first school visit the other week and the children really
enjoyed playing with him.”

In 1960，at just 26 years old，Jane Goodall was chosen to go to what is now Tanzania
and study the little-known world of chimpanzees.Since then，she has received many
awards and honorary degrees and become the model of some young girls.
But before Goodall was a world-renowned conservationist，she was just a kid who
liked animals.She was born loving animals so people gave her diverse animal
toys.Now，Goodall has received an unusual honor.She is becoming a toy—a Barbie
doll with little girly clothes.
Goodall may not have expected to become a Barbie at 88 years old—but it’s not just
any doll；it’s made out of recycled plastic.And the Barbie is partnering with the Jane
Goodall Foundation and her Roots & Shoots program，which inspires young people to
protect others，animals and the environment.The main message is “every day you
live，you make an impact on the planet and you get to choose what sort of impact you
make.”
Once Goodall had given a talk about protecting the world in Burundi school and a little
boy of 7 came up to her and said，“If I pick out a piece of trash every day，it will
make a difference，won’t it？” She said，“Yes，it will.And suppose you persuade10 of your friends to pick up the rubbish every day.” He said，“Oh，that’s it.They
could all get 10 of their friends！”
Goodall has been inspiring young people for decades，but now，newer generations
will get to know Jane Goodall.“I sincerely hope that the Barbie will help kids to
create more interest and fascination (吸引) in the natural world，” she said.“It
doesn’t really matter if they have a career in conservation，as long as they live an
environment-friendly life.”
