It's not long, however, before some humans discover her, and they're quick to do what they can to take care of her--from feeding her with a doll's bottle to making her a bed of straw. When Jackrabbit is big enough to return to the wild, the family makes the difficult decision to return her to her real home--to raise a family of her own.
