She is going to kill it and or eat it!

Probably your dog will kill the rabbit, don't expose it to your dog.

If she's had experience with rabbits without a problem, she should be fine. If your dog is the first animal described, she's sniffing the rabbit b/c it's a new scent welcomed into the house. If your dog is named chops, then i would guess she is staring and whining because she is anxious to go and invstigate this new animal and possibly play with it. I doubt she would eat the rabbit if she lived with one before.

.....But, i may be wrong. Your dog may have changed since she was a pup and may not like rabbits anymore.For the rabbit's safety, i wouldn't introduce them, just incase. Just think: how does your dog react to the little animals outside?

I don't know, sometimes dogs know the difference between animals that are pets and wild animals. I think it just depends on your dog. They might become good friends it's really not that uncommon they are both social animals. With that said, don't leave them alone together!
I also have dogs and rabbits. One of the dogs is totally fine with the bunnies, but the other dog (which is a small terrier breed) would love nothing more than to kill them I'm sure.
