AN ABANDONED deaf fox cub has apparently learned sign language from her 'Doctor Dolittle' owner. Devon animal lover Beth Tyler-King says she uses hand signals to get the fox to obey basic commands. 'To get her to sit, I put my palm out facing downwards to say "sit" and she does it. When she is being naughty I waggle my finger at her.' Ms Tyler-King was keen to adopt the cub as she too is deaf. 'She couldn't have come to a better person,' she said.
