Every few months we visit our family in London, we use it like a little holiday. We relax, eat a lot of food and wander the streets looking at all the beautiful things.
This weekend, was not so relaxed. WE LOST MR RABBIT!
Now, I know what your thinking… It’s just a teddy, replace it and she’ll never know. Sadly, I wish that were true.
We’ve had Rabbit since Ruby was just a few days old. They are best friends and he comes everywhere with us. He was there when she was in hospital, he was there when she had chicken pox, her first tooth, the first time she fell and skint her knee or bumped her head. He’s seen it all.
The important info:
On Saturday 16th Of November around 6:30pm, we left the Flat Iron Steak Restaurant. With Mr Rabbit still in hand. We walked slowly around passed BoDeans restaurant, over to Oxford street and caught the tube to London Bridge. We changed at London bridge and headed to East Dulwich.
Mr Rabbit Vanished.
If your passing any of these locations and have time to look in windows, on walls, fences, posts. We would appreciate it if you keep keep an eye out for him!
He is very loved and missed and a little tatty. His neck has no stuffing left from being hugged so much so flops to one side and his ears smell like Olbas Oil. There are so many Jelly Cat Rabbits around, but we’ll certainly know ours when we see him.
We’ve been in touch with Lost Teddy Bear and sadly none on there are ours. If you have lost a teddy/rabbit/toy please check them out!
If you lovely people of London (and all over) would like to help, here is some more info!

We’ve had over 1,000 retweets including companies and celebrities, over 2,000 share on facebook with a phenomenal reach of over 134,000 people. We just want to say a huge thank you to EVERYONE who has helped out so far!
We would love to reunite little Ruby with her best friend!

Have you tried London Transport Lost Property? He may have been left on a tube or train rather than dropped in the street.
Awww. When I see wee Ruby with her pal in these pics I feel sad. May he return home safely... xx
Hi,
I don't know if this of any help but my daughter has a few of these that I bought so I could attempt to rotate and wash her beloved Benny, unfortunately she knows the difference between them and "real benny", I'd be happy to share one as a replacement though. My daughter would be distraught if we lost benny.

i hope you find it - but if not, please look for the book Tatty Ratty

especially as it is a rabbit as it is a rabbit in the story and may help ease some feelings if you have to buy a new one....
good luck!
my 2.5 yrs old daughter lost her bashful jelly at bunny too yesterday! Fortunately we managed to retrace our steps and Dora and bunny were reunited- phew! This has happened several times in their short lives, so we have now have 6! Some are more worn than others but they all sleep either in the airing cupboard or in Dora's bed. I know a replacement is NEVER the same, but it may go some way to help! Good luck with your hunt :)
Unbelievably we found a Mr Rabbit a few weeks ago- in Peckham Rye. ( Very near East Dulwich) My daughters found it and put up hand made posters all around. We took it to local baby spots and various groups and centres-, nobody recognised the name or bunny! Sadly we never found CS. the named owner. I have since had a new baby who's unwell and the hunt for C was put on hold. I haven't looked at the news for weeks and in my trying to attempt some normality looked at the news online and saw this. I will make another attempt on East Dulwich forum to find the rightful owners tonight. If no luck I am happy to forward him onto a loving home after his foster stay here, we have looked after him but knew he wasn't ours so non of our girls truly fell in love with him. If he cannot be reunited with C which seems unlikely now then he could perhaps make your little one a welcome replacement. We could add olbus oil to his ears if you would like to offer him a new forever home in the event that the forum doesn't find his old family in the next few days. Hope you find the real 'Mr Rabbit' but this one is looking for a best friend too- he just wants to be loved again!!
I'm sure mr Rabbit is missing her just as much as she misses him. Such special friends are "love made fuzzy." Something very similar happened to me many years ago but that was when I went to New York!
Please tell the little girl I will ask my plush ursine companions to check with their familys in the City and at the first sign of Mr Rabbit they'll check in.
We sincerely hope Ruby finds her friend...My wife and I will be keeping our fingers crossed.Good Luck....
Great photos....
My heart bleeds for poor Ruby, please keep us posted if you find Mr. Rabbit and greetings from Maryland USA.
I read your story on NYDAILY NEWS....I was moved to tears, by your love for your Daughter.

Blessings to you and your family, a mother like you is truly a rare find..
I wish you all the luck in the world in finding Mr.Rabbit and making Ruby happy!
