Did you floofs know that there was actually a successful interspecies hybrid between pampas fox and dog successfully born into life?
On natural ways, tho. Unfortunately the humans didn't identify her as such until it was "too late" from what I read and they had spayed her.

She was found after a car accident and analyzed quite well-thorough, but unfortunately died several months later:

Meet ‘Dogxim,’ the world’s first known dog-fox hybrid—and a genetic oddity

“What a strange hybrid beast!” When first found, the animal was a mystery, showing traits common in both dogs and foxes.

In the bigger picture the two species were separated over millions of years, as such it would usually not work to reproduce hybrids out of them. But in this case it worked.. naturally. Very amazing, but unfortunate results.
