Today's good news story comes from Olawa, Poland.

In a scene straight out of a children’s book, a tiny, weak, and starving bunny wandered into the ER of a local hospital, seeking help.

The community quickly rallied together to save it.

Nurses were shocked to spot a bunny in the hospital—even more so when it began following them around.

The bunny, no bigger than a fist, clung to a hospital employee's leg and trailed her with every step. Moved by the desperate plea for help, the people of OÅ‚awa rallied together.

Hospital staff and city services, including the local water guard, jumped into action to find proper care for the baby hare. A Bolt rideshare driver volunteered to transport the bunny from OÅ‚awa to a wildlife rehabilitation center in WrocÅ‚aw—and refused to charge for the ride.

At the rehabilitation center, the famished bunny "immediately attacked the milk replacer," staff reported. It wasn't long before the older hares welcomed the little one with open paws.

"Our other bunnies accepted the baby like their brother - first sniffing and licking, then full acceptance. The older ones immediately took care of him - that's the role of the older ones," EKOSTRAZ shared on Instagram.

Social media users are now flooding the post with praise for the hospital staff, the kind-hearted driver, and everyone who played a part in rescuing the bunny.
