00:00This man fell in love so hard with this rabbit that he brought him from Indonesia to Canada.
00:05This is a cross-continental rabbit rescue.
00:11On a surfing trip, Francis came across a neglected rabbit bought by a woman who was trying to
00:17entertain her kids, but instead he ended up in a cage, starving and alone.
00:22Hey buddy.
00:23I'm going to have to talk to the people who keep this rabbit there.
00:27He knew he had to help.
00:30As the days went by, Francis found himself getting more and more attached and realized
00:35that he couldn't leave Asa behind.
00:37I asked if she would be willing to let me take him.
00:40She asked me to pay for him.
00:42I don't like buying animals because I don't believe they are property.
00:47But in that moment, my priority was Asa.
00:51And that day, I left with Asa for a long adventure.
00:56I made a pretty big decision to bring back Asa to Canada.
01:02We're taking off with the rabbit in this homemade box.
01:07After a short boat ride, driving for an hour plus and a 12 hours ferry ride, we took an hotel
01:14for the day.
01:15With a little space and some peace, Asa's personality really started to shine.
01:21It's such a privilege to see him express himself.
01:24He absolutely loved to go in the garden and run.
01:29I named the rabbit Asa, which means hope in Basa, Indonesia.
01:35Francis realized that they had formed a real bond and there was no turning back.
01:39I'm hopping on this huge boat and I'm carrying, obviously, Asa.
01:44It's pretty windy, so I'm very excited to go bringing back home.
01:49I love you, Asa.
01:51I am back in my house in Canada and Asa is exploring his new environment.
02:01We still can't believe the lengths that Francis went through to give Asa his freedom and the family.
02:14We still can't
02:1615 years after all.
02:17We still have the time to enter.
02:17The way that that富士 were in baby Tibet No.
02:17We still can't believe any of that.
02:18I am back in my face when he handsatter in camera and makes no desire to area.
02:20We've mixed with another wave of incredible situation.
