Well, the author had mostly free reign, but she still had to clear what she was doing, which says to me it is canon enough. At any rate, Adam and Eddy probably approved her doing The Fox and The Hound stuff, because I'm sure if they had a plan for that story they wouldn't have allowed her to use it in her story. Just like they didn't allow her to give Red or Granny's real first names in the book. Basically, they didn't make the story, but they approved the story, which means it is technically in the canon. It doesn't matter, the author is not the one to decide it. She might have gotten clearence from some producer, it doesn't change the fact that A&E have never stated that the book is canon. Moreover, when the comics were out, Adam immediately stated the the comics are canon. In this case, he didn't. At the same time, she got permission from someone that she could do certain things, but not others. Who are the only people who can make such decisions? The writers.
