Whether it is strange or not, it is not good for him. Rabbits are strict herbivores and the dog food ingredients will likely make him sick over time.
Get him away from the dog food and start feeding him good quality rabbit pellets, an unlimited amount of grass hay, some greens, and maybe a tiny piece of fruit each day.

One of my rabbits pick at the dogs food as well. It wont hurt them, but it's not natural. Keep the dog food out of his reach.

Yes extremely, because rabbits are strict vegetarians who do not like meat - I would assume your dog food is the worst possible kind, that is mostly vegetable matter with no meat!

It's not strange, but due to completely different dietary needs, you need to limit, if not prevent, your rabbit from indulging in dog kibble.
If he no longer has access to the dog kibble, he WILL return to eating his own diet.

Sounds normal. We used to feed dog food to mice... it made them grow bigger.
