Jogger runs mile with rabid fox locked on her arm

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities in Arizona say a jogger attacked by a
rabid fox ran a mile with the animal's jaws clamped on her arm and then
drove herself to a hospital. The Yavapai County sheriff's office said the
woman told deputies she was on a trail near Prescott on Monday when the fox
attacked and bit her foot.

She said she grabbed the fox by the neck when it went for her leg but it bit
her arm.

The woman wanted the animal tested for rabies so she ran a mile to her car
with the fox still biting her arm, then pried it off and tossed it in her
trunk and drove to the Prescott hospital.

The sheriff's office says the fox later bit an animal control officer. He
and the woman are both receiving rabies vaccinations.

Finally......an uplifting jogger post.

More of this please.

Considering she did lift up the fox, I guess you could say that it's an
uplifting jogger.
