One pet that we had when I was a kid was a really cool rabbit named Casey that loved going out into the backyard. He would go to the door and wait there until someone let him out.

Our yard was not fenced in, but he never ran away. He’d go all around the yard and then come to the door when he was ready to come back in.

But one detour that he would often make was over to our next-door neighbors house. They had a vegetable garden in their backyard and Casey would go over there and help himself. For some reason our neighbors, who were not the most friendly people, didn’t mind sharing their veggies with Casey.  It was surprising, but maybe it’s because sometimes animals can bring out the best in us.
