My 120 lb Newfoundland thinks she is the mother to these baby bunnies in our back yard and it’s the sweetest thing 🥹 yes, the (real) mother comes back every morning and night and the bunnies just hopped off, leaving Zuri an empty nester 🤣 #newfoundland #dogs #puppy

In the video, a 120-pound Newfoundland named Zuri can be seen snuggling with a litter of baby bunnies. The huge dog even gently cleans the tiny rabbits. The on-screen text explains that the Newfoundland babysits the bunnies every day while their mom is gone. However, the mother rabbit does return to care for them. People were amazed by the Newfoundland’s gentle demeanor and the bond she had with the young bunnies. The video has over 295,000 likes on TikTok.
