SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ? Travelers heading through the San Francisco International Airport may run into a stress-relief animal in the form of a 28-pound Flemish Giant rabbit.

The Flemish Giant rabbit is considered the largest breed of domestic rabbit, with attributes of being docile and patient. Alex is expected to visit SFO several times a month.
