The Rabbit and The Dog

So I decided to leave work early. I get home only to see my dog is up to no good. 
My pit bull is laying on the back patio covered in dirt with a rabbit in his mouth. 
The Rabbit's not bloody, just dirty.  Now, my neighbor's kids raise these Blue Ribbon 
WINNER Rabbits. I instantly knew it was one of their rabbits🤦‍♀️. So I took the rabbit 
away from my dog, I rushed inside, washed all the dirt off it before my neighbors could 
come home. It was stiff but I heard some ANIMALS play dead when they are AFRAID, 
I couldn't remember which animals because I was NERVOUS . I took it and placed 
it back in one of the cages that sits on my neighbors back deck, then I ran back home. 
NOT 30 minutes later I hear my neighbors screaming. so I go out and ask them 
what's wrong? 🤫

They tell me their rabbit died three days ago and they buried it but now it's back in the cage.
