A video has arrived from Russia showing a helpless fox being rescued in the snow.

He was unable to free the animal on his own; a kind local resident came to his aid and posted the video on the Internet.

The video clip about the fox rescue has already become a hit on the Internet – it has received almost half a million views on YouTube alone, and many Internet users were satisfied with the result of the rescue.

We see a scene where a fox is in trouble. He screamed loudly and asked for help when his tail got stuck in the frozen snow.

The fox was found by a kind Russian who introduced himself online as Ulivanov and helped the fox free himself with a shovel. Well done for saving the trapped fox.
