Moment foxes recreate John Lewis advert by jumping on lounger in back garden
The brilliant video shows Fudge, Faith and Freya giving the CGI John Lewis foxes a run for their money
THIS is the amazing moment the £7million John Lewis Christmas advert is recreated in a wildlife lover's back garden.
Dora Nightingale's garden is often visited by playful foxes who love nothing more than to bounce on her sun lounger, using it as a makeshift trampoline.
And the 52-year-old, from Worthing, West Sussex, has shared footage which shows Fudge, Faith and Freya giving the CGI John Lewis foxes a run for their money after the store's festive advert was released yesterday.
She said: "I've got a real-life John Lewis advert in my back garden – they could have saved themselves £7million and shot the ad in my garden.
"The foxes love to bounce on the sun lounger for hours on end – I didn't realise they could jump so high.
"I saw the advert yesterday and loved it, it really touched me and made me laugh and cry.
"The CGI in the ad is very good, they look just like the foxes in my garden, but things like this go on in people's back gardens all the time and shows just how special these animals really are.
"You wouldn't need CGI here – the film-makers could have done a real-life version of this in my garden.
"It would have made my Christmas if they'd donated £1,000 to the West Sussex Wildlife Protection charity to help rescue foxes injured by traps."
Dora - who has watched the trio grow from tiny cubs during regular visits to her garden over the years - took the video showing the leaping high into the air from her sun lounger, recreating the charming advert.
Dora said: "Foxes and badgers are often classed as vermin which is such a shame but the ad teaches people that wildlife is so much more magical than a fake Santa and reindeer.
"The advert shows these animals as the beautiful creatures they are and that's the biggest magic of all.
"I hope the ad highlights the fact that wildlife is on our doorstep, they're not vermin, they're intelligent, cute and cuddly animals that don't have to be created through animation.
"I just wish the ad had ended with the little girl joining the animals on the trampoline instead of just watching.
"I wanted to shout at the screen and say 'you can join in and play with them'."
