Ripley the Corgi was out for his regular round at his local park in Indiana, when he came across a wild baby rabbit.
The young animal appeared in need of a play date, and became increasingly daring as the days went on, eventually following Ripley all the way out of the park.
'This has happened two days in a row. We'd take the corgi out to potty, and she'd go sniffing around. Bunny pops out, play-date starts.'
‘I was lucky enough to have my phone on me the third time this happened,' owner Lareina Tan explained.
Tan admits that she was initially concerned that Ripley might hurt the tiny rabbit, but her concerns were soon proven unfounded.
‘The bunny ran around in circles around us instead of away, and jumped onto Ripley's front paw while she was sitting. I want to believe the bunny chose to hang with her,' she wrote.
'Ripley is pretty much one of the least threatening dogs around... it could be because she grew up with a huge bunny and a hamster.'
Corgis are one of the few dogs that can herd geese, and it appears this instinct kicked in when the young rabbit ventured into the road.
In an adorable show of comradery, Ripley appeared to steer the rabbit away from the road and onto the sidewalk.
Aww!
