The man, Marshall Mosher, is an adventure athlete, and he was in Buenos Aires, Argentina, when he came across a fox and a fluffy white dog on the side of the road. Mosher calls to the dog and encourages it to run with him. When they’re clear of the fox, he checks the dog’s collar and calls the owners.

Mosher then runs with the dog to the meet-up place, which is over 2 km away, and returns the pet to its owner. To say thank you, the owner sends Mosher a bottle of wine.
