Wow! A Pet Rabbit That Is Useful!

It appears as though an Australian family’s pet rabbit alerted them to the fact their house was on fire and was able to save them.

Neighbours pitched in with hoses to save the house before four fire crews arrived to extinguish the blaze.

Six days from completing a painstaking two-year renovation, the couple was stunned but relieved to have escaped the fire without injury.

Wife Michelle said Rabbit had alerted them in the nick of time.

“We were both asleep. It was very lucky for both of us,” she said.

Rabbit is usually happy to roam around the house, only locked in a cage when guests arrive, she said.

“He’s just sort of an inside pet but I don’t think he was very impressed,” Mrs Finn said.

“We’ve been renovating for two years - we started with a disaster, and now this.

“All that hard work gone.”

A jewellery-maker, Michelle’s tools and jewels were also lost in the fire.
