It’s always good to read a news story with a happy outcome for the rabbit. BBC News reports:

Fire crews were called to Forest Road in Piddington on Saturday night. A fault in a fridge had set the garage on fire.

The rabbit was rescued from the garage by firefighters and given oxygen therapy.

June is National Microchipping Month in the UK. Look out for events near you offering discounted microchipping. A microchip is a chip the size of a grain of rice which is injected into the back of an animals neck. It stores a unique reference number that’s linked to your contact information, if your pet goes missing it can be traced back to you.
