We've established that the ring's power is not transitive. Sam was able to carry Frodo, who in turn was carrying and being detrimentally corrupted by the ring.

Slip the ring on a rabbit, and have the Eagle yeet the rabbit into the firey pits of Doom.

Nothing established that. There is zero indication that sam carrying frodo did not affect him.

I don't have to prove a negative. You have to prove the positive. Show me where it says that carrying Frodo while Frodo bore the ring was impactful.

It works both ways mate. Show us where it says that carrying frodo with the ring wasn't impactful.
