You have my sympathies. Were Peter and Paul intended as companion or food
animals?

Petere disappeared and, I suspect, fell prey to a predator:  a dog being the
likely candidate.  Paul made s secdond break for freedom, but, snesible
rabbit that he is, he went into the same garden, and was caught by the same
man as when he made his first assay for the uncertain life of a wild rabbit!
