Ahhh… There’s nothing better than hiking with your best buddy – especially when it happens to be a bunny named Sir Quincey. “Finally, I found him! Sir Quincey Isenhopper,” says a caption of a young woman grinning from ear to ear while holding a white bunny. The fur ball in the picture is not just any pet – the moment the bunny puts on a harness, he turns into his owner’s hiking partner. “After a week or so of wearing [the harness] Sir Quincey grew to love it because it meant he could play outside and go further than his fence.” This is when the bunny’s owner knew he was ready for the next step. On the big day of their first hike trip, she made sure they were prepared: “I was able to pack his bowl, food and favorite toys.” To her delight, seemed to be enjoying the hike as much as she was. “He hopped a little but mostly wanted to ride on my backpack. I think he likes being able to see from up there.”
The two companions had some adventures, such as spotting beluga whales. When the woman and her bunny reached a remote forestry cabin 15 miles into their trip, she found Sir Quincey trying to “steal her bed”. Of course, she couldn’t be mad at such an adorable thing who simply needed a comfy spot to rest. The owner adds: “30 miles and 5 attempted eagle swoops later we made it home safely”.
Who else wants a hiking bunny? We sure do.

Agreed! Those predatory birds are lightning fast! I wonder if there is something he could wear that might deter them from even viewing him as a possible lunch????

I really hope people don't get bunnies for this purpose. It is very unusual for a bunny to be like harnesses, especially smaller breeds like Holland Lops (the bunny pictured is one). Rabbits are prey animals and scare easily. I have two bunnies and they are not interested in the outdoors at all let alone becoming hiking buddies. They are my indoor buddies.

I agree. I have two bunnies who easily get scared of pretty much everything including my canary's songs. I'm also against leashes for rabbits as they spine is very fragile and a sudden movement can end up badly.

A wild animal with a leash as "hiking buddy"? And, since there is another person taking the photos, apparently she actually did not need a buddy to hike with. I really do not understand people.

5 attempted eagle swoops would make for some awesome photography shots, although I don't think I could snap them if it were my hiking bunny that was about to be eaten!

One buttonholer and this bunny will be dead under 24 h. Taking this hybrid bunnies out is pure insanity becose of its low resistance to illnesses. If you have bunny like this just keep it home, dont make same mistake.

Maybe after the first eagle-swoop you move bunny to a more secure location? Not hating; just a suggestion.

I love SO much how his harness brings out his alter-ego!!! He dons his harness and becomes...ULTRA SUPER HIKING BUNNY!!! Now you two just need to solve some mysteries!!! That cabin in the middle of the woods (though at first sight I was thinking, horror movie!) could start a mini-mystery??? Add an illustrator, and your book series is born! RUN WITH IT!!! THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND!!!! (I also love how the expression on his face NEVER changes! No matter the adventure!)
