Headline : Rosie the Fox and Maddy the Terrier Play in Snow
Caption :
These charming pictures show furry best friends Rosie the fox and Maddy the terrier playing together in the snow.

The real-life fox and hound pair have been pals since Rosie was hand-reared by photographer Richard Bowler almost five years ago.

Richard explains: "They've been best mates since I took Rosie in as an abandoned cub and play together every day.

"Rosie now lives in a very large outdoor enclosure on the edge of woodland at the small holding I live in on the edge of the Berwyn's, north Wales.

"The enclosure is really for her safety, being surrounded by sheep farms and hunters she wouldn't last long if she wandered off."
Rosie, now five, was just a cub when she was left abandoned after her father killed most of her litter before the cubs had opened their eyes for the first time.

After being adopted by Richard, she soon formed a firm friendship with terrier Maddy, a Lakeland Patterdale cross, who is now eight.
