(Don’t) run rabbit, run rabbit, run run run…

Considering that carrying a cat or dog around on one’s shoulders is seen as acceptable, then adopting the same approach with a rabbit is presumably just as appropriate.

And especially so it would seem when it’s the type of pet that, even when the owner is preoccupied with taking pictures, is perfectly happy to not only sit still.

But be patient too.

With the added bonus of this furry little thing being particularly adept at giving foreigners dirty looks for having the effrontery to fire off some furtive photos.

    What a cute rabbit. It’s my first time seeing a rabbit on a leash. Seems to be very docile.

      First time for me too. And yes, it was incredibly calm and well behaved. It barely moved the whole time I was taking pictures.

        But be careful of rabbits. This happened to my cat a few days ago because of rabbits!

    I bet it would taste lovely roasted on a spit with a splash of barbecue sauce.

    My friend in college had a bunny that was house broken. It didn’t behave as good as this one tho! I want one!

    last spring, a family of rabbit wit 2 baby bunnies moved in my garden and started free-loading off my tomatoes.. i hated those bastards, wont even let me play with them, and they always seem to hide in the grass while i mow the lawn, twice i nearly ran them over.

      That made me laugh. Definitely the first time I’ve heard a rabbit called a bastard!
