British singer LEONA LEWIS once saved a rabbit from a homeless man who threatened to eat it for his dinner.

The Bleeding Love hitmaker was walking along a street in Los Angeles when she saw a man sitting with the white bunny on a leash.
According to British newspaper The Sun, Lewis was so concerned over the creature's welfare, she asked the vagrant what he was going to do with the animal, to which he replied, "Don't know - probably eat it."
But Lewis, who is a strict vegetarian, was so shocked at the prospect she gave the man $100 (£67) and told him to spend it on food for himself.
A source tells The Sun the 24 year old has since adopted the rabbit and taken it to live in her Hollywood Hills home.
The insider adds, "Leona is the proud owner of a new white rabbit called Melrose which she is keeping in her garden. She was shopping on Melrose Avenue last week when she spotted it being kept on a lead by a homeless man. She didn't think life on a lead was any way for a rabbit to live - then when he said he was going to eat it she knew she had to save it."
The singer also has an adopted horse which she keeps in a stable in California.
