The Pug and the Bunny Inspected Every Row of the Vegetable Garden

Between the rows of lettuce and carrot tops, a black Pug and a small brown bunny are inspecting the vegetable garden with great seriousness. The Pug's wrinkled face is lowered toward the leaves, and the bunny sits tall beside her with ears perked. A rustic wooden fence frames the plot, and a few stray tools and flowerpots lie scattered beyond them. Everything looks green, fresh, and very much like lunch.

Fresh greens are a healthy part of many rabbits' diets, but a vegetable garden needs some supervision. Leafy greens and carrot tops can be good treats for rabbits in moderation, though some garden plants, including certain onions and the leaves of some other crops, can be harmful, so research before letting a pet graze. Pugs are famous for their love of food and are prone to weight gain, so a garden full of snacks is a temptation. Talk to your vet about healthy treats and portions. Always wash produce before feeding it, and keep garden chemicals away from curious noses.

The pair look like a tiny committee conducting an official review. The Pug sniffs, the bunny surveys, and neither has yet reached a verdict. If the lettuce is a bit nibbled by the end of the afternoon, nobody will confess. It is all part of the joy of a garden shared by two curious friends.
