A Labrador has become surrogate mother to two baby rabbits. Six-year-old Koa has taken the bunnies under her paw after they were found abandoned. Owner Tina Case, of San Francisco, explains: "A week after Easter, Koa was chasing a lizard outside our sun-room wall. The lizard landed on a pile of dirt where Koa discovered a little nest of wild bunnies...

"...My daughters discovered what Koa found: there were three little bunnies. They rushed one of the little rabbits to our neighbour, Dr. Dani Olsen, who is a vet. Unfortunately it did not survive. But the other two little bunnies have thrived under our daughters' care. Koa is like their surrogate mother. They hop all over her and always find their way to the crook of her leg and find warmth and shelter. Koa has never been a mother, so she thinks these are her little puppies. We plan on releasing the wild bunnies back into nature or give them to a nature reserve because they are so tame now."
