Rabbit thinks he's a dog


Here's a cute story that I saw in the Daily Mail today.

A pet rabbit has had an identity crisis after spending too much time with the family cocker spaniel and now believes he is a dog.
The Giant Poobah rabbit - also named Poobah - has gone barking mad and spends hours cuddled up with spaniel puppy Scout in his dog basket.
He has also started rejecting his green food and will only eat treats bought for Scout - including his wet dog food.

The confused rabbit has copied Scout's behavior to such an extent that he even gets up on his hind legs and begs for snacks. But Poobah has asserted himself as top-dog in the house and is piling on the weight from all the dog biscuits he is eating.

The three-year-old rabbit first began adopting the canine behaviour after Scout was introduced to the family home in Perranporth, near Newquay, Cornwall, eight months ago.
