The correct answer here would be the first option.

The foxes definitively are not leading Dixon anywhere, it is just  a figure of speech, a figurative language that is used here. Figurative speech uses something like a metaphor to explain or show something by using something that resembles the thing being shown or explained. Here the it is shown that he is so well known that even a thing that even the foxes know him and trust him.
