    It could be a scene from Disney classic The Fox and the Hound.

    But these furry characters have become real-life friends after Rosie the fox cub was left abandoned when her dad killed most of her litter.

    The 15-week-old fox has now bonded with new pal Maddy at the home of Richard Bowler in the Berwyn mountains near Corwen, North Wales.

    These heart-warming pictures show them enjoying playing together at the five-acre small-holding where Rosie is being trained.

    Richard, 44, was formerly in the building industry but last year moved from Bedfordshire with girlfriend Helen, 41, for a change of lifestyle. They now run a holiday let in Blaenau Ffestiniog and Richard is developing a wildlife photography business.

    "They have become best of friends, although we always supervise them playing together as Rosie is still quite small. They chase each other around and Rosie often dives on Maddy; the living room is usually a wreck after they have been playing."

    ANIMAL MAGIC - THE WORK OF RICHARD AUSTIN

    Richard Austin is known throughout the photography world as one of the best in the business at capturing unique animal images. So far he has released four books showcasing some of his work, including 'Animal Magic' and 'Dogs and Puppies'.

    Richard started off as newspaper photographer, but whose brighter pictures began to creep into his work as they became a more popular alternative to the typical "gloom and doom" stories he found himself stuck with.

    "I've always been interested in wildlife, ever since I was a kid. My heroes were the Daily Mirror's Arthur Sidey and the Daily Mail's Mike Hollist - they were really good animal photographers. I remember some cracking images that they took and I was always attracted to that."

    Although he is perhaps more associated with cute images of piglets in deckchairs or lambs playing with ducklings, plenty of his photography is of animals in the wild in their natural habitats.

    However, he is quick to point out the difference between his work and that of a National Geographic photographer for example:

    "There's wildlife photography and then there's animal photography," said Richard, "I'm not the kind of photographer that sits down a rabbit hole for three days with a couple of cheese sandwiches and a flask of coffee. I've got to know that something's happening somewhere. The most I'll give it is an hour. And if nothing's happened I'll go and come back again later.

    "There are some great wildlife photographers out there but I try to aim for more comical pictures that people might find more attractive"

    This may dispel a few myths about photographing animals: while some purists will be making those cheese sandwiches and brewing that pot of coffee for t...
