Foxes have their own code of honour. You do sly and cunning things for yourself, not for others. So cheating is not such a big deal, but doing it on someone else’s behalf is considered pathetic. Thus Beauregard became the muscle in Piàn xióngmāo’s rebellion, and Sam was brought to heel at arrow point. At once Beauregard regained the respect of foxes everywhere, and he is now well regarded in foxholes throughout Pets ‘n’ Friends.
