The San Francisco International Airport (SFO) this week reported that a 28-pound Flemish Giant rabbit named Alex the Great, already known for stealing hearts at San Francisco Giants baseball and Golden State Warriors basketball games, has joined the SFO Wag Brigade certified stress-relief animals.
Alex is the first rabbit to join the Wag Brigade, which started in 2013, and is mostly comprised of dogs but also includes LiLou, a Juliana-breed pig.
The Flemish Giant rabbit is considered the largest breed of domestic rabbit, and is known for being docile and patient in being handled, attributes well-suited for work on the Wag Brigade. Alex will visit SFO several times each month.
