Good story, and I couldn't resist the thread title....
Going down with the sheep: New Zealand rabbits hop aboard some woolly friends to flee floods
Three wild rabbits managed to escape rising floodwaters in New Zealand by clambering aboard a flock of sheep and surfing to safety on their woolly backs.
Sixty-four-year-old Ferg Horne said he had been farming since he left school at age 15 and had never seen anything quite like it.
He was trudging through pelting rain to rescue a neighbour's sheep from the floodwaters on Saturday at their South Island farm near Dunedin when he spotted the bedraggled rabbits hitching a ride.

"bedraggled rabbits" would be a great band name as well.

Hüsky chomped a baby Rabbit
Hüsky chomped a baby Rabbit the other day. He was lounging out in the back yard, and I noticed H.I.M. snacking on something. My forensic determination is based upon a leftover 'Lucky Rabbit Foot' which later vanished. He probably ate that as well.
He actually has been implicated for snacking upon the Sheep in the pasture, due to forensic evidence. He was caught in the pasture with a bloody face, and one Sheep was missing. It later was found alive and healthy, with a slightly damaged tail.
Of course I got H.I.M. off the hook, with no actual witnesses who(m) would testify that they saw any actual Sheep-chomping take place.
As far as I'm concerned, it could have been blood from a Gopher, Squirrel, or Opossum, and there is no proof that Hüsky ever had contact with that particular Sheep.

So I'm assuming he wouldn't
So I'm assuming he wouldn't let the rabbits catch a ride on H.I.S. back?
