Meet mystic the artic fox who came to the Toledo Zoo in an unusual way.

"When a family purchased her as a pet they found out really quick that as a pet she wasn't working out so we took her in, that's when the training began."

Eventually Nicole trained mystic to be a part of the zoo's education program and now takes walks every morning.

Getting mystic to go on walks is not as easy as you think.

"I would say at least a good six months before she trusted me then I wanted her to be able to come out and be able to be used in educational purposes, so it took me about two years to get a collar and a leash on her."

"It sounds like a monkey and a cross between a dog. She gets really excited and her tail wags when she sees the collar and leash in my hands."

There are many reasons why the artic fox makes a bad pet.

"She can dig through ice if the soil is frozen, she can still dig a very nice hole, that's your house, your carpet, and your couch, are not safe."
