These are the heart-wrenching images of an orphaned baby bunny crying out for his mum moments after the pair were brutally attacked by a dog.
At just a few days old, this tiny cottontail rabbit wants the one thing he cannot have - a hug from his mummy.
The cute creature was remarkably unscathed during the savage canine attack, which took place in Connecticut, USA.
But the outcome was less rosey for the new mum who was tragically killed by the savage stray dog.
Despite the horrific incident the brave bunny is now in the safe hands of staff at Wildlife Rescuers of Connecticut, who have aptly named him Oliver - after famous fictional orphan Oliver Twist.
Oliver will now be reared by staff at the centre who will provide round the clock care until he is strong enough to be released back into the wild.
But as these pictures show there really is no love like a mother's love.
