Dog chased after Fox but unfortunately was too slow to stop fox from killing rabbit.

Then hand them a bill from the vets for trauma to the dog

Right, just gone round there and the bloody rabbit it still alive but a little shaken up, I spoke to the daughter (Aged around late 20's) whose rabbit it belongs to and she was quite fair about the situation, my mum said when she entered the rear of the property the dog was on top of the rabbit with it's mouth around the neck and the rabbit squealed and then just flopped down as she grabbed the dog and exited the property, she was very distressed and assumed the rabbit was dead, sorry if I mislead you guys but I was genuinely lead to believe the dog had killed the rabbit, I even said "sorry I think my dog had killed your rabbit" when I spoke to the owner.

My mum is going around to tomorrow to check to see if the rabbit is ok and apologise, she is too upset to do it tonight.

Anyway thanks.

Rabbits don't fair well to shock. It still may be dead by tomorrow.

All joking aside fingers crossed for the rabbit and hopefully a lesson learned to your mum.

Hmmmmmm, are you sure it's a rabbit they've got and not a pet possum?...
 
hide dog at friends, use a blender to turn a dog size joint of meat into mush... offer bag to rabbit owner say you put your dog in the blender for attacking their rabbit... offer to show them the video (which they will decline).. then a few weeks later get your old dog back with a hair cut and some dyed hair...

how even if he attacks another rabbit they will not say anything...
 
Even if the rabbit goes to the big warren in the sky it sounds as though the owners won't demand anything done other than a new rabbit. How much are rabbits nowadays?

Any answers along the lines of £6 a kilo are not helpful.
 
If the rabbit had have been dead and no one saw I'd have just got out of there tbh
For the sake of the dog
 
Just sue the dog food manufacters for making rabbit flavour dog food, claim it turned little Fido into a blood crazed monster. Get your picture in the Daily Mail looking sad.
 
Shocking. A breed of dog designed to kill small fluffy animals, kills a small fluffy animal.

How about just getting a fence or not letting the dog get into the neighbors garden. Cage for the rabbit, leash for the dog etc etc.
 
Wouldn't rule it out that it could be in shock still, next 24 hours is critical

Also get the rabbit down the vets if they are thinking, although might be best to not disturb and let it come out of any shock before they start boxing up and putting in car
 
Now everything is all better I can post the following historical proof that rabbits have a track record of doing this sort of thing:

General Melchett: Now George, you remember when I came down to visit you when you were a nipper, for your sixth birthday? You used to have a lovely little rabbit, beautiful little thing, do you remember?
Lieutenant George: Flossie.
General Melchett: That's right, Flossie! Do you remember what happened to Flossie?
Lieutenant George: You shot him.
General Melchett: That's right! It was the kindest thing to do after he'd been run over by that car.
Lieutenant George: By *your* car, sir.
General Melchett: Yes, by my car. But that, too, was an act of mercy when you remember that that dog had been set on him.
Lieutenant George: *Your* dog, sir.
General Melchett: Yes, yes, my dog. But what I'm trying to say, George, is that the state young Flossie was in after we'd scraped him off my front tyre, is very much the state that young Blackadder will be in now: if not very nearly dead, then very actually dead!
Lieutenant George: Permission for lip to wobble, sir?
General Melchett: Permission granted.
 
Get your mum to go round with a bottle of wine and some fancy expensive rabbit food. Tell them the truth: She rehomed a rescue animal which slipped away and did what comes naturally, shes very sorry this happened, glad the rabbit is ok and is there anything else she can do to help alleviate the situation? Pay for a checkup at the vets?

Should offer to pay for some counselling to help the rabbit cope with PTSD:

stick a ball of cotton wool on the dog's ass, put it in the hutch and hope no one notices.

Then poo through your mums letterbox and lamp her.
