Chap with a lab moves into a new home next to an old couple who have a pet rabbit
Knowing that Labradors are known to fancy a bit of bunny the dog owner was terrified thathis dog might get in next door and that would be the end of Bugs.
Weeks go by and each day before leaving for work and letting the dog into the yard he would check the fence line and the side gate just in case the dog had been digging under the fence or the gate was left ajar.
Come Sundaymorning the dog owner was standing watering the back lawn when the dog appears from the side gate with a very soiled and limp a rabbit hanging out each side of its mouth .
Horrified he retrieves the rabbit from the dog rushes in side and washes and powders the rabbit and checks for teeth marks, Bugs looked totally undamaged and so white it was hard to tell if he was really dead or just resting .
Knowinghow much the old coupleloved Bugs and seeing it was Sunday which meant the old couple would be attending churchhe rushed over and place the rabbit in the hutchthinking the old couple would assume it just died of old age .
The old couple arrived back home and the dog owner waited and waited.Getting a little nervous he looked over the fence, seeing the old couple looking intently into the hutch.It was too much; he asked is everything Ok with Bugs
Well no not really, we are a little confused bugs died On Friday and we buried him down in the back garden.
