The ‘Cathedral Fox,’ saved by a priest’s intervention, now a National Geographic star

"As the Rev. John Ubel returned home from an early-morning run on a Thursday last May, he noticed a fox scurrying across the grounds of the Cathedral of St. Paul.

“That’s kind of neat,” he thought.

Only later did the priest realize — in what has become known as the story of the Cathedral Fox — that this was the first sign that something was terribly wrong. A wrong he would help right.

A CRY FOR HELP
The second sign of trouble came in the dark.

“The next night, Friday night, I was returning from a wedding reception,” Ubel recalls. “It was later at night, close to 10, and I heard some sounds. I thought, ‘That must be the fox I heard yesterday.’ The sound was a bit alarming.”

The crisis became clear the next morning. "
