Harlie is Alvin: Mystery Solved

Betty says,

I called several neighbors leaving messages about finding a stray rabbit. After four days, a lady knocked at our front door and said, "My name is Julie, I live four houses down. I understand you have our rabbit Alvin?"

Hubby answered the door, so he asked, "What breed of rabbit?" Julie said, "Harlequin".

That's pretty specific, so Julie came into our yard and reunited with Harlie. Well, Harlie's name is not Harlie, Harlie's name is Alvin. Julie said, "Alvin lives with our chickens, he is very maternal to our chickens. He runs around our yard for the last three years, never strayed too far, he always came back at night. We did not expect him to hop so far to your yard. I was really looking for him and our next door neighbor George said that you had left a message about a rabbit."

So Harlie, no, Alvin goes home with Julie to be the chicken guardian again. Would Harlie/Alvin know that he came very close to becoming a show rabbit? Probably not. Chickens are good.
