I wonder why you're assuming he would have taken a bite. Why would he? This is not his regular meal, biologically. Dogs don't bite / eat living creatures, as far as I know. I also think, like David, that he was exploring them.
Great question. Because dog owners have shared with me that their dogs didn’t stop with a gentle hold. Maybe not eat (though I do know one dog that definitely does), but some would at least draw some blood. I will confess I don’t really know and am going off of what others have shared.
What a sweetie. I think certain dog breeds are just like that. When my husband was a kid, one of his dogs brought over a baby rabbit, unharmed. The dog was worried and wanted the humans to help. Dogs are the best.
Well you would see it over and over again because you live a life with lots of creatures around you. This, for me, was a first, but I hear you and like your explanation. Thank you
He was curious. They always investigate things they don't know so that they will know. And you shouting at him has probably discouraged him from going near bunnies ever again.
Were that were true (your last statement). He has gone back to the same corner he found them, looking for more. I did feel bad shouting at him but then I made it up to him (i think) with a good dog walk and some fun tosses. He loves to fetch more than anything.
But I also know that you know dogs really well, so I hear you :)

Dogs really are the best. That's why when my time has come, I want the Good Lord to put me right in the center of the pack of dogs in Doggie Heaven.
He was rescuing the bunnies. Animals have an instinct to be kind to babies. I have seen it over and over again.
