Although it is a close relative of the dog and the wolf i do not believe it has symbiotic relationships although it would not be an impossibility for it to breed with other breeds of canine. It survives on lemmings so that could be the symbiotic relationship

There's a myth regarding the fox and polar bear that seems pretty popular and won't go away. Some claim that the Fox serves as a guardian and look out for the bears in exchange for table scraps. Not true, the fox is merely a scavenger and that's the only reason you'll find it around bears.
