As two men walked along a Russian dirt road, they noticed a fox with its head trapped in a jar ahead
Instead of running away from humans, the wild fox ran towards the men, knowing they might be able to help
Instead of running away, like a wild fox normally would, the trapped fox scurried up to the men.
One of the men reached down to grab the jar, which made the creature wriggle to try to escape.
But the fox quickly realised that tactic wouldn't work and stood still for its rescuer.
The man, who appeared to be wearing camouflage army gear, grabbed the fox by the scruff of its neck and pulled the jar away with his other hand.
At first the young fox wriggled as one of the men tried to pull the jar away
The fox quickly realised it needed to stand still while the man took it by the scruff of its neck and gently tugged the jar away
In a flash, the fox made the most of its freedom and ran away.
The man joked in Russian: 'Where is the thank you?' according to 9 MSN.
He then said: 'Thank you' in a higher-pitched voice, pretending to be their bushy-tailed friend.
The other man pointed out: 'He would have died that way.'
The fox made a quick dash to freedom while one of the men joked in Russian: 'Where's the thank you?'
