I feel so sad i just needed to talk about it. [warning: accidental, tragic death]

[Bunny mom]

My baby bunny died last night. She was killed by my dog. I have 4 dogs who snuck inside the house at the same time Yoshi my darling beloved baby bunny escaped the dining room which was gated to keep her safe ironically. I tried to block the dogs from her while she ran passed my feet to hide. 3 of my dogs started fighting each other viciously over her. I used the opportunity to try to find her but couldnt and so tried to part the fight between the dogs.i was a second too late in getting her. One of my dogs who wasnt in the fight found her hiding spot and snatched her. I am literally traumatiaed by the whole ordeal. I shouldnt have cared about the dogs and just tried to find her. And i literally have grills and gates throughout the house to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

I gave the dog that killed the bunny back to my mother who gave her to JSPCA with an order not euthanise if they cant find her a home they will contact me. The other dog who viciously would not break up from the dog fight ( i had to get a chair and hit her off my other dog but still wouldnt stop attacking) will have to leave my home too. I love my dogs but the fact is i have to protect the vulnerable bunnies and pets. I had a night of holding my bunny for her last breath and comforting my 3 year old son and cleaning up dog wounds.

I loved her so much. She was cuddly, sweet and loved to beg for food. She was innocent and trusting and now i have this terrible guilt, and i miss her and wish i had done things differently. But i still have Bentley my naughty and fiesty and super smart bunny. Thanks for listening.

I’m sorry about the loss of your bun. I didn’t read your whole post (due to the warning message), but I wanted to give you my condolences. 

Binky free Yoshi

There’s no question you tried your best to defend her. It’s difficult not to think about what you could or believe you should have done, but in the end, be proud that you tried as hard as you did. I’m sure your little baby appreciated your dedication, and while in the end the situation could not be overcome, you were with her in the end. Animals constantly prove how in tune they are with human emotions, so I hope you find comfort in knowing she probably realizes how hard you fought for her and was thrilled to be with you in her cross over the bridge.

For posting, sharing, and most of all, doing your best in such a difficult situation, thank you. She’ll be forever a cuddly, sweet baby in bunny heaven. Binky free baby, knowing well you are so very loved. Let your loving mother’s genuine love propel your binkies even further.

Oh my, lots of sad losses lately. In some ways, I hope you and the others who have had tragic ends will be able to comfort each other. This is rough. And no doubt traumatizing. I’m so very sorry. It will take time for you to figure out how to deal with the emotions. It may be something that will always last with you deep inside, but you can use it to help prevent this from happening to others. This very painful experience can be used to help save others, who may be in similar scenario/set-up, and would not expect something to go so wrong. Your baby bunny is free now in this moment. No pain, No fear. Binky Free Baby Bunny!
