D'aaaawwwww !
In the midst of widespread flooding in Otago and Canterbury, a small colony of rabbits rode to safety on the back of a flock of sheep. The rabbits hopped their way out of disaster onto the back of sheep on a Taieri Plains farm, west of Mosgiel.
Ferg Horne went to check on the sheep next to his Riccarton Rd West farm on Saturday morning as his neighbour was on holiday in Russia. "They were standing in the middle of the paddock on a high spot in about three inches of water," he said.
As Horne got closer, he thought the sheep must have been under water at some stage because they had debris on their backs. "I got over there and it was rabbits." Horne, 64, said he had never seen anything like it in his close to 50 years in farming.
"They must've jumped up onto their backs to get out of the flood. There was two on one sheep and one on another. "They were as happy as can be those rabbits; they were warm and dry, snuggled up."
