It sounds as though it's just a young dog and excitement is taking over, I wouldn't be too concerned

As long as the dog returns just crouch down and give lots of fuss while you hold the rabbit, eventually the dog will lose interest and drop it. Just don't get involved in chasing it around the field or a tugging session.

It will soon learn that the sooner it lets go the sooner it will have another one to catch.

MoChara used to do this... I gently squeezed under his jaw, he let go within seconds, after a night or two doing that he stopped and he hasn't done it since.

Try retrieval training with a ball or skin etc and enourage the dog to " GIVE" or "LEAVE" when you want it to let go.

if you dont want to do that walk away and let the dog carry the rabbit , it will soon get bored then you take rabbit praise dog like mad and hopefully next time it lets go sooner
