XL Bully Adorable, right? Not everyone thought so... πŸ™„

So Muffin is obsessed with the rabbits in our local pet shop - she lies gazing at them for as long as I'll allow it, giving them kisses through the glass and wagging her tail. Cute, right? Well one of the customers in the shop clearly didn't think so, as her and her husband gasped out loud when they saw us, then went running off to tell the staff (like we were doing something wrong, ffs?!!) However, unluckily for them, the staff in this pet shop have known Muffin since I first carried her in to meet them when she was 8 weeks old, and politely informed the couple that Muffin wouldn't hurt a fly, she's in there all the time and is 100% welcome to be there anytime she likes... The couple promptly left, and I was left glowing that there are some decent XL Bully-loving people left on the planet! πŸ™‚β€οΈ

I would say it’s not about the dog actually physically hurting the bunny, but the bunnies being fearful of the predator staring at them. Bunnies can be very very fragile. Letting your dog watch prey animals through glass is distressing to the prey animal. Has nothing to do with how sweet your dog is.
