Ariz. jogger, fox latched onto arm, runs for help
PRESCOTT - With a fox locked onto her arm, an Arizona jogger ran a mile to her car, where she was able to dislodge the animal, throw it into the trunk and drive to a Prescott hospital.
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office says the fox, which later attacked an animal control officer, tested positive for rabies.
Michelle Felicetta told deputies she was on a trail Monday at the base of Granite Mountain when the fox attacked, biting her foot. The woman said she grabbed it by the neck when it went for her leg and it latched onto her arm. Thinking the fox was rabid, she wanted to make sure it didn't get away so she ran to her car, where she was able to pry open its jaws, wrap it in a sweat shirt and toss it into the trunk.
Felicetta is receiving rabies vaccinations, as is the animal control officer.
This woman is my hero. Awesome story.

My god, that's unreakingbelievable. She ran a mile with it, then pried open its jaws?!
Maybe we can elect her president next. She certainly knows how to handle a crisis.
Unreal, isn't it??? Shit --- can't believe she did all that. I think I would have just been screaming & smacking the fox off of me and crying & running for help hysterically.
Damn!
Ha ha! I didn't see that. I'll go take a look.
Funny, everyone in my office thought of me when they read it, too!
When I read it, I thought, "I would have snapped its neck, but that works just as well."
To have that presence of mind!!!
"Ok, a fox has latched onto ma leg. I'm gonna catch it so I can see if it has rabies. Oh, now it's hangin' from ma arm. All the better to jog a mile with you, my pretty."
LOL!!! Yep, this story would totally be you, Amy! :D
