This is all nice and cute but how will fox domestication be represented in the future by these types of comic strips?

There's the famous Russian breeding experiment where they were able to breed domestic foxes.

The problem is that they pee every time they get excited. Which would be bad enough if it was a dog, but fox pee smells god awful.

I believe that study (I could be mistakenly thinking of another study) also showed that their bone density decreases with domestication.
