I wonder if Bosco likes bunnies?
By cuzzy | May 24, 2007
Jessie, a South Shore golden retriever, has become a media darling.
Ever since the seven-year-old canine adopted three baby bunnies, she’s been in the spotlight.
“It’s nerve-racking,” said Janette Fisher of Hunts Point as she rhymed off a list of media outlets who have been to her home near Liverpool to witness the female dog mothering tiny rabbits.
Most of the neighbourhood children, including a local Beaver troop, have tramped through her house as well to visit the animals.
The unusual story began about a week and a half ago, when Mrs. Fisher’s husband Marty took Jessie for a walk in woods near their hunting camp in Port Joli.
“One by one, she brought them out of the woods,” Mrs. Fisher said during an interview in her home Wednesday.
“I had to get her out of there or she might have brought more,” said Mr. Fisher.
Ironically, the Fishers had been teaching Jessie to hunt rabbits. They aren’t sure whether she was guided by her retriever instinct or her maternal instinct when she presented them with her foundlings.
