Are the foxes and dogs in same animal category?

Yes, foxes and dogs are in the same animal category. They are both mammals belonging to the Canidae family.

While they are closely related, they are different species:

* Foxes belong to the *Vulpes* genus.

* Dogs are domesticated descendants of the *Canis lupus* species (wolves).

Here's a simple way to think about it: Imagine a family tree. Dogs and foxes are like cousins within the same family (Canidae), but they have their own branches on that family tree.
