I may have a full house with three kids, three cats, and two dogs, but when I come across a cute little bunny, I think I’d like to add to the chaos here. They’re so adorable when they happily hop around that I like to think they’re what manifests whenever a fairy sprinkles her dust.

Rocket, the bunny, is everything I could ever want in (another) companion, but it’s not only because he’s a cute bunny. This sweetheart has a ritual “love dance” he performs multiple times a day, but he can’t do it without his leading lady, Mom.

Bless the internet for dazzling the timeline with Rocket and all his bunny ways. Since I’ve never been around one of these angels, I had no idea they do this. Watch as he fetches Mom to show her some love.

If you’re wondering what this special ritual is, it’s just Rocket’s way of expressing his overflowing emotions for the one person he loves most.

Many experts describe a bunny’s “circling” as the act of running around their person’s feet at a time of high excitement or intense affection. It can mean he wants to play or he’s literally saying “I love you,” and if that’s not the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard!

There are many videos showing his love dance in different pieces, but here’s what it looks like from start to finish. He first has to get Mom up, leading her to her spot on the floor, so he can begin the process of circling in the most “zoomies” way possible. This is too adorable!

What Kind of Bunny Is Rocket?

With so much cuteness overflowing, Rocket is the perfect poster boy for his breed, the Netherland Dwarf Rabbit. As PetMD explains, these bunnies are intelligent, energetic, and playful, but don’t mistake their small size for meek and initially skittish, which means they might not be the best pet for homes with kids.

Once they’re comfortable, they’ll happily snuggle with their humans, and they form tight, everlasting bonds. If you’re lucky, they’ll even involve you in your very own daily love dance, just like Rocket does!
