Video from last week's daring rescue shows Wadman in a state of panic as he tries to get the frightened rabbit to safety.

"In the video that everybody sees, I was going crazy because she was screaming," he recalled. He managed to scoop up the animal and bring it to safety. He even went back to check on its progress at the local animal shelter. See more on the story above.
