[Stray Rabbit Breaks Up
Pedigreed Dog Show
A large gray rabbit just about
broke up the kennel club's recent
dog show In Bulawayo, Southern
Rhodesia.
Just as judging was progressing,
the rabbit came out of the open
country and charged through the
showing ring.
A pedigree-forgotten lust for the
chase surged, and with joyful howls
and yaps every dog flung himself
after the rabbit, dragging owners
along at the end of leashes.
