When Golden Retriever Dexter's humans decided to add a new pet to their family, they made a surprising choice – they got a rabbit. At first, they were worried the fuzzy animal wouldn't get along with their dog, but opposite proved true!

Three years ago, Dexter's life changed forever when his owners brought home a huge rabbit.

"When we brought home our new giant bunny to our Golden Retriever, we had no idea what would happen next," the pet owners said in a recent Instagram video.

At first, the big dog was rather shy: Dexter seemed to spend much of his time sniffing the rabbit from a distance.

"They would share greens together," the owners wrote in the video subtitles.
