Sheep-herding rabbit finds fame online Watch the clip Champis the bunny doesn't merely hop, he also knows how to herd a flock of sheep, possibly having picked up the skill watching trained dogs. A clip of the five-year-old Swedish pet rabbit in action has had more than 700,000 YouTube hits since surfacing on a blog a week ago. The video shows Champis running back and forth to keep Nils-Erik and Greta Vigren's sheep together. Dan Westman, a sheepdog breeder who shot and posted the video, said Champis did the job better than some dogs. "It's a herding rabbit," Westman said. He rounds them up, and if they get close to escaping through the gate he sometimes stops them.
