Beloved Giants Therapy Bunny Alex Dies at 4

Alex The Great, a beloved 28-pound Flemish giant therapy rabbit known for providing comfort and joy at San Francisco Giants games, airports, and various public events, has died at age four due to complications from cancer treatment. Rescued from a slaughterhouse by owners Kei Kato and Josh Row, Alex became a local icon, often sporting a signature cap and bow ties while offering emotional support to fans and travelers. Despite undergoing surgery to remove cancerous tumors and receiving treatment at UC Davis Veterinary Hospital, Alex's health declined, leading to his passing following cardiac arrest during veterinary care. His presence was widely cherished, with Giants CEO Larry Baer and the San Francisco International Airport community remembering the comfort and happiness he brought. Alex's owners expressed deep grief but vowed to continue his legacy of spreading joy and building a positive community. His unique role as a therapy animal and fan favorite made him a symbol of resilience and affection in the San Francisco community.
