Meet the 30lb Celebrity Bunny Driving His Own Electric Car 🐰

A 30lb bunny rescued from a slaughterhouse has become a local celebrity - by attending events in his own little electric car.<br /><br />Josh Row, 45, and Kei Kato, 38, rescued the Flemish hare from a meat farm in Modesto, California, USA, back in 2020, and named him Alex.<br /><br />Josh and Kei have always done a lot of charity work so when Alex became old enough, they decided to take him along. <br /><br />Alex, three, was an instant hit and he's now attended more than 200 events.<br /><br />Kei, who owns a restaurant in Dogpatch, San Francisco, USA, said: "We already did a lot of volunteering - going to soup kitchens and things like that.<br /><br />"So when we got Alex, we thought why not bring him along as we knew people would love him as much as we do."<br /><br />Josh and Kei take Alex wherever they go and even got him his own little car.<br /><br />Josh is a mechanical engineer so he's always looking for new ways to give Alex that extra bit of style.<br /><br />Kei said: "Rob had LED lights fitted on Alex's stroller that has his name going across it. <br /><br />"Because Alex loved the stroller so much, we thought a mini car would be a cool upgrade for him to attend a local event in.<br /><br />"So, we got him a Mercedes SLK and he even learned how to use it pretty fast."<br /><br />It didn't take long for Alex to become too big so the couple bought him a G-wagon and added two e-bike batteries for power - which cost £3,5k ($4,5k). <br /><br />Kei and Josh never expected Alex to gain this much attention when they first started to take him out and about.<br /><br />Kei said: "Of course we never expected him to get this celebrity status at all.<br /><br />"So many videos have gone viral now, it's crazy."<br /><br />"We love showing him off because he makes people feel better and he loves the attention too."<br /><br />The couple have taken him to hospitals and airports to calm nervous flyers and sick patients.<br /><br />They even organised a charity hare and tortoise race for Alex's birthday, which Alex was unfortunately the loser in.
