Title:Todd by artist Gary Mead

"This is TODD, a 3-4 week old fox cub who was believed to have been abandoned, and suffering from lungworm. He also had some damage to his skull and stood out from the other fox cubs being cared for at the time. He looked lost and lonely, and to me not only epitomized the distress these animals must feel but in the many months it took to complete the painting, epitomized the work the carers do in restoring these foxes back to health; for if you could see him now, you would not believe he was the same fox I saw back in April 2000. He is no longer a shy, frightened cub but a boisterous, playful juvenile with a spring in his step.
This remarkable turnaround, which can be seen time and time again in the NFWS newsletters, for me truly encapsulates the role of all those involved in the NFWS with whom I have great admiration for."
