SAN FRANCISCO -- A beloved therapy bunny named Alex the Great, who provided snuggles and comfort at ballparks, NBA arenas, airports, farmers markets, Easter egg hunts and NASCAR races, has died. He was 4.
A floppy-eared Flemish giant who was large in both size and spirit, Alex suffered complications from cancer treatment and died early Monday, his owners said. The rabbit had undergone care at the UC Davis Veterinary Hospital in recent days.
Alex appeared June 4 sporting his signature cap for Padres-Giants at Oracle Park. At 4 months old, he attended his first Giants game in April 2021 -- believed to be the first bunny in the stands at the waterfront ballpark.
