Oh no, it doesn't surprise me in the least actually,
Wolves/dogs are probably the closest animals to man, so I'd completely understand why people would pick wolves over foxes.
Actually my confusion is kind of a weird one, see, I don't understand why people usually pick foxes, I picked a fox because... well... foxes are cute, sly and like to keep to themselves most of the time
, actually, the confusing thing is why this forum is exactly my expectations of what people would allocate there fursona's to, and the furry world in general isn't! haha
