The better blogs would analyze this in terms of what is says about the culture of science, and the fact the NG magazine is using it as a cute picture, rather than as a science story. Here you'll get no such heavy and profound thinking. My take: I know I shouldn't, but I want one.
National Geographic: Baby Foxes Going to the Dogs
"Young foxes, or kits, scamper in a cage in Siberia, Russia, where they are part of a 45-year research project to domesticate foxes...By now the foxes in the project behave like pet dogs, barking and wagging their tails at humans."
"...the domesticated foxes can "read" human cues (pointing, for example) much better than their wild cousins"
