They’re the best of friends (Picture: SWNS)

A man is best friends with his bunny, and we’re here for this friendship.

Sean Harrison rescued the poor little bunny after he was found abandoned in a hutch at the back of an old people’s home in Sean’s home town of Reading.

When Sean found him he was cold, wet and alone, and so he just had to save him.

Sean had never been an animal-lover prior to rescuing the bunny, but he soon fell head over heels in love.

39-year-old Sean named the bunny Chief Brody after a character from his favourite movie, Jaws.

The pair have been living together for the last three years, and have become the very best of friends.

Sean who manages the Instagram account @manandbunny said: ‘Chief came to live with me in October 2017.

‘Chief and I have been best pals ever since I rescued him. We love to share biscuits.

Aren’t they sweet together? (Picture: Sean Harrison /SWNS.COM)

‘There’s only one boss in the house now and it certainly isn’t me.’



What should you do if you find an abandoned bunny?

According to the RSPCA, a mother rabbit will close her bunnies into a burrow, returning to nurse around once a day. The baby bunnies, known as ‘kittens’, will start to emerge from the burrow at about 18 weeks, when they look like teeny adults.

If the bunnies are found above ground, with their eyes closed, they will be too young to survive on their own and will need rescuing and taken to your local wildlife rehabilitator.

If, like Sean, you find a rabbit abandoned in a cage, or in a bad condition, or you are worried about them, contact the RSPCA and your local vet ASAP.
