Dougie from McFly rescued a fox, and we’re not worthy

What a man!

So, when I was younger, my room was covered in McFly posters.

I loved them, and you know what? I still do.

They’re just nice guys, with families – who seem to have a great time together.

Take Dougie for example.

The only single member of the band (call me?) recently rescued a fox, with the help of the RSPCA.

The fox was stranded in a water fountain in Surrey when Dougie came to the rescue.

Dougie spotted the fox, who was unable to jump out of the fountain.

Animal collection officer Lisa Miller said: “Rescuing wild animals is all part of the job for me, so when I arrived and saw the poor little fox hiding among the plants on the island in the middle of the fountain, I knew I needed to act fast to save him any more stress. “

“Dougie did absolutely the right thing by calling us for help, and he waited by the fountain to keep an eye on the fox until I arrived which was really kind.”

“There’s really only way to rescue an animal from the middle of a water fountain! So I rolled up my trouser legs and climbed into the fountain and waded through all the pondweed.”

Dougie also had nice things to say about the RSPA:  “They were very responsive, professional and not afraid to jump in a swampy fountain to rescue an animal in danger.”

The fox is alive and well.

Much like my love for Dougie, tbh.
