Poor little fox
Many years ago, my brother and I were driving back home in Devon after a night out.

On a dark lane we saw a little young fox by the side of the road who was obviously injured. Being soft types we stopped, popped him into the boot of my car and headed home to see if we could help him.

When we got home, it was obvious he was in a bad shape so we decided to take him down to the local vet's house to see if he could help.

The vet was a bit of a grumpy bugger at the best of times so did not take too kindly to us knocking on his door at 2.00am. However he grudginly agreed to come and take a look at the fox, who was again in the boot of my car.

The vet very quickly decided that the best thing to do would be to put the fox down (probably because he wanted to go back to bed) so he got out his syrinige and filled it with his death juice.

This is when the spooky thing happened. After the first injection, the little fox just carried on breathing, so the vet gave it another go and injected some more. Again, the little fox just carried on breathing. By this point, the vet was looking mightily pissed off and so filled up the syringe to the brim and gave it a final go.

A few seconds later, the fox took its final breath and at that exact same moment, the light in the boot of my car went "bink" and went out. We all looked at each other and even the grumpy vet seemed a bit taken aback by this. 30 seconds later, the light just went "bink" and came back on.

I know that internal lighhts in some cars go out after a certain amount of time but this 17 years ago and it was a crappy old Vauxhall Astra and such technical wizardry was way above it.

After that we took the little wee fox up the road and threw him over the hedge into a field. It was getting late after-all.

If the fox had woken back up again when the light came back on...
... then I would have been impressed :)

Aww
I really wanted you to say after the third injection the fox got up apparently cured and went about its business.
