Introducing a new pet to your existing pets is always an exciting time. It’s hard to predict if your new family member will be met with excitement, curiosity, jealousy, or a range of mixed emotions. Welcoming a new furry addition often takes careful planning and patience to ensure pets coexist peacefully.

When these introductory moments involve innocent, fluffy curiosity caught on video, it’s sure to become a viral internet sensation. For one English Angora rabbit, meeting his new 9-week-old bunny friend is so thrilling that he can barely contain himself. Seen in a now-viral Instagram Reel shared by @tori.eileen, the ultra-plush adult rabbit is prancing alongside a clear enclosure holding the new baby bunny, creating a moment that’s equal parts sweet and hilarious.

As viewers watched the interaction unfold, many couldn’t get over just how fluffy the rabbits are—and several joked that the animals looked less like bunnies and more like little dogs.

Set to the hit song “So Easy (To Fall In Love)” by Olivia Dean, the clip shows a fluffy gray Angora rabbit named Buddy carefully approaching the glass separating him from the tiny new addition. The on-screen text reads “POV: you get a new bunny, and the other bun bun is obsessed.” As the fluffy baby moves around in her new space, Buddy continues monitoring with intense precision. The clip shifts to a new scene, showing him excitedly climbing up on the couch where his human is relaxing, while the on-screen text reads, “…. Gotta tell Dad all about her.”

The sweet moment of innocent curiosity was not the only thing that caught the viewer’s attention. Hundreds of comments poured in to point out that these adorable bunnies can be easily mistaken for tiny puppies:

• “I am today years old knowing these bunnies disguised as puppies exist 😂😂😂,” one viewer wrote.

• “So they’re actual bunnies and not puppies 😭 I thought they just had bunny ears on,” joked another.

• Yet another chimed in with, “So you’re telling me… that these two animals aren’t dogs!?”

Other comments were more breed-specific:

• “So cute…they look like schnauzers 😍❤️,” shared one user.

• “Where you get the Maltese bunny? 😂” said another.

• “I literally thought this was a yorkie 😂,” admitted another.

• Several others joked about how designer pets are getting wilder each day, referring to the bunnies as bunny/dog hybrids, suggesting names like “borkies,” “bun-doodles,” and “shih-buns.”

Angora Rabbits Explained: Not Your Average Dust Bunnies

According to The Vet Desk, Angora Rabbits are one of the oldest breeds of domestic rabbits, dating back to the 18th century, when they were a popular choice of pets for French royalty. These rabbits are known for their calm and sweet temperaments, making them a highly sought-after house pet. However, their unique fur requires daily grooming and brushing, making them quite a high-maintenance choice for pet families. They love interacting with humans and are frequently litterbox trained. Their angora wool can be cleaned and spun into a soft, light, and warm cashmere, which could be a rewarding benefit to the extensive grooming these adorable pets require.
