Actually, we do domesticate foxes; not even counting that Russian science experiment, humans raise foxes for fur by the bajillions.
That being said, I'm mostly agreeing that, yeah, this probably wasn't a case of early fox domestication; I think best case scenario, if it was a pet, it was an orphaned cub adopted by some ancient animal. A one off thing, which still sometimes happens today.
