This little girl's lost stuffed bunny is going viral
It’s a big week for stuffed animals on the loose.
First, actress Busy Philipps posted a series of emotional and panicked Instagram Stories after realizing she had accidentally left her daughter’s two beloved teddy bears — one of which has since been found — at a hotel in Hawaii.
Now another cuddly childhood companion is MIA.
Meet Rabbit, who, as Metro reports, has caused quite the social media stir since being left behind on a London subway on April 3.

Come on Londoners. Let’s find it.

“He was a gift when she was born,” Broxup told Metro of the toy’s significance. “She has him every night in bed, and he has been in [the] hospital with her when she had scarlet fever.”
While thousands have retweeted the mother’s plea to find the bunny, many have also shared their own stories of stuffed animals loved and lost.
My Dad lost his stuffed penguin on a bus in Edinburgh in 1945/6 he never got over it. Sincerely hope you find bunny. I’m slightly heart broken for her.

We left miss piggy in New York when my daughter was about 8. I'm still paying the airfreight charges to get her home!!
I really really hope it shows up!!!!!— ken grogan (@kengrogan1) April 3, 2018
We once lost my daughter's bunny at Disneyland and it was returned. If any mom sees it, she will guard it with her own life. Have faith.

I hope you find it..I had my Larry the lamb until my husband sold the wardrobe with him in it..I never forgave him and is probably one of the long list of reasons why I divorced him x

Though London’s transportation officials have been alerted to the case, a recent tweet from Broxup confirmed that Rabbit remains at large.
