According to the distraught mother, her 5-year-old daughter was left "in tears" when she discovered the rabbit was missing and is hoping her urgent plea will help to locate the toy.
“He was a gift when she was born,” Broxup told Metro of the toy’s sentimental value. “She has him every night in bed and he has been in [the] hospital with her when she had scarlet fever.”
The news has struck a chord with Twitter users who have been retweeting and sharing the picture, helping to send the tweet viral.
Come on Londoners. Let’s find it.

It seems as though the search has also prompted other users to share their tragic experiences of losing toys as a child.
My daughter lost her beloved Garfield toy when she had a hospital stay - we waited a week, then I reluctantly went out to buy another one - when I got up to her hospital room with it, the old one was back - it had had a trip to the laundry.

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.
