Recently, a dear friend gave me a book entitled "Rabbits: Gentle Hearts, Valiant Spirits" as a gift. It's essentially a collection of short stories about bunnies in desperate situations and the people who rescued them. Following each story, there's a relevant paragraph or two that contains some excellent information about the care and feeding of house rabbits.

The individual tales themselves are both touching and heart-wrenching at the same time. A number of the stories were difficult to read, particularly the one about the bunny with head tilt. Overall, I think that the book does an excellent job illustrating how wonderful and dare I say, magical, our rabbit friends can be. Though the stories mostly focus on the plight of each bunny, one does walk away from the book with the knowledge that there are people out there who will go to great lengths to save their furry wards. And that is an excellent thing.
