Cookie the rabbit often keeps Brawny company while he's writing and imitates his movements while exercising. Rumor has it that he guards the house while Brawny is away on business.
Although rarely seen, he has been there for a long time.
Honestly, I found this episode a tad boring and lacked focus. Also Fluttershy's assertiveness by yelling grated on me by the third time it happened. I also feel like the concept of an animal shelter wasn't thought all the way through.
However, it was a very nice close to Fluttershy's arc and one that I had hoped would come since the beginning of the show. I think the message and implications that this carries has a lot of value that I'll go more in depth on during Moral of the Story. I can't wait to see what comes next for her.

Fun fact:
Cookie is based on two rabbits I raised for eleven years. One was a Dutch rabbit named Oreo (obviously) who was very playful but only liked me. The other was a Lilac Californian named Ephram, who was very affectionate. It's been a few years and I still miss my rabbits.
