The Belstone Fox is the nickname given to Tag, a fox cub rescued from the woods and adopted by huntsman Asher. The young fox is reared in captivity with a litter of hound puppies, including Merlin, with whom Tag becomes especially friendly. Asher and Tod are fascinated by Tag, who combines cool cunning and knowledge of human habitation to lead the pack and hunters in many a "merry chase." This gives the fox a status of local celebrity enough to be published in magazines. Merlin who was initially uninitiated in the hunts is an active hound but protective of Tag. Asher, though now an aging huntsman to the hunt club, was mildly protective of the fox until Tag leads a pack of hounds into the path of a train and killed many during a hunt. Asher sees this as disturbing and against the natural order of life, and determines to bring down the fox in the approved manner, rather than with a firearm, however he dies from a sudden heart attack while attempting to do the deed. His once beloved fox and its friend Merlin sits beside their master until rescue party comes.
