A bunny is making an impact on others just by being – well, himself.
Alex is a 30-pound bunny who was rescued from a slaughterhouse in 2020 by Josh Row and Kei Kato, SWNS reported.
The pair rescued the Flemish hare from a meat market in Modesto, California — and he now "works" as a therapy animal.

The three-year-old bunny has attended over 200 events in which he shows off his good looks and large stature.
Kato, a restaurant owner, told SWNS that he and Row take Alex wherever he can go in their hometown of San Francisco.

"When we got Alex, we thought, Why not bring him along, as we knew people would love him as much as we do," he said.
The pair have brought Alex to local hospitals and airports to calm the nerves of patients and fliers, Kato said.
