It is so strange- my puppy, Rolo, thinks he's a rabbit. He's never seen himself, and has only seen and played with the rabbits most of his life, and I swear he now thinks he is one.

He has seen the rabbits in their runs, and so when I take the rabbits out of the run he charges in there :S

Also, he's seen the rabbits eating grass, so he lies down next to the runs, imitating them, and eats the grass. Constantly- all the time they do until we drag him inside.

He sees the rabbits digging, and I watch his little face, contemplating, and then he starts digging- while they are!!!
Unfortunately, now he's got into the habit of digging- my dad wasn't best pleased when he had just planted lots of plants into a bed of soil, and every day Rolo sneaks outside and digs it up. The only clue we have when he does this, is he walks inside all innocently, sits down and looks at us. With soil and mud all over his head and paws and arms.

Also, we have just framed a picture of him and got it today- we showed it to him and he ran away with his tail between his legs.
Well there you have it- a puppy who thinks he's a rabbit and is scared of his own appearance.

Hmmm.... :S
:?
 
That's really adorable. Very much monkey see, monkey do.

Maybe it would be worth trying to 'talk him round' by putting vdeos of dogs and stuff on the tv so that he gets to see dog behaviour. But I think it's really cute.
 
Hehe I guess you haven't heard of my "rabbit" Kashi...
