Jo-jo - Honorary Bunny Hero

Jo-jo is a true star and permanent fixture at South Wales Animal Rescue. I first met her when I was looking for a house-rabbit. She's a friendly, gentle dog. She'd have to be, living at a rescue. But when one of *HER* rabbits finds a home, she gets upset. She howls and whines so much you'd think they were her babies. And perhaps, for Jo-jo, they are.		Jo-jo

You see, Jo-jo's always lived around rabbits. Lots of rabbits. She's used to them running past her in the kitchen, she's used to them watching her from their runs or their hutches. But nothing prepares you for the sight of Jo-jo allowing herself to be ousted from her basket by one of her bunnies. She lies on the floor, watching over her charge as the bunny dozes in comfort. But I've saved the best till last.		Keeping watch, as Polly dozes

Jo-jo saved one of her bunnies in dramatic fashion. A fight broke out between a pair of bonded rabbits, and Jo-jo flicked open the hutch-door's bolt and placed her head between the fighting rabbits. She stayed there until somebody came, attracted by the commotion. At first it was thought that the hutch door had been left open but as the rabbits were extracted and the door was closed, Jo-jo demonstrated her new skill by nudging the bolt and re-opening the door. She deserves a Honorary Bunny Hero award.		Ever vigilant, protecting her little 'uns.
