lab and rabbitt

The dog from next door likes to go for walks with us in the evening and she is quite the rabbit chaser. She has chased the same rabbit in the same spot several days in a row. The first time I almost stepped on the rabbit it was so close. Next time the rabbit ran behind me, now I stop where the rabbit usually comes running from and wait, well the rabbit knows I am there and that there is a dog chasing it. So it stops looks for me then looks for the dog and tried to slink away with out getting caught. It is quite comical.
