Saw this pop up earlier - I love it when people take the time and effort to do these sorts of adventure pictures smile

Hopefully the rightful owner can be found soon!

Shame they copied someone else's idea, and just cranked up the advertising aspect.

Yep some new starter in the marketeering dept spent 5 seconds copying that idea to try to get it viral and the o/p fell for it and reposted the link.

The important thing though is - Did Mr Bunny get back to his owner ?

My grand daughter has one very like it and would be devastated if her Mr Bunny got lost.

I dont think you can rally have a go at them for copying an idea that's been around for ages and ages. Nor for getting some publicity from it - it's a bit of fun really and making the best of what, for one child, is probably a sad situation that they are trying to rectify

Our daughter also has a similar toy which if lost would be very bad! She takes it everywhere.

Was thinking we might need to get it microchipped or something smile

My eldest has a bunny very similar to the one in the picture, she's had it since she was born and is very, very attached to it. When she was 3 we were on holiday in Tenerife and went for a walk, it was very windy and bunny got blown out of the buggy and over a cliff edge. I had to scramble down this cliff and retrieve it. Thankfully it was only about 15 feet down. Given the choice between a rocky/watery death or spending the rest of the holiday without bunny the decision on what to do was very simple.

My daughter has a similar one. She used to take it everywhere until one day we went to see the dinosaurs in London. She was about 2.5 at the time.
She was in the pushchair when I notice no bunny! we were on the walkway at the time on the way to see the t-rex. She just kept repeat "bunny gone"
It had fallen off the walkway and into a display below.
She found this hilarious.
Took us nearly an hour to get someone to unlock the display and we then had to send the boy in to recover it as the adults were too big.

It doesn't leave the house now.

A friend of mine had had a stuffed toy whale since he was a baby, when he was 7 or 8 he lost it off the edge of a very pier, onto an inaccessible mud flat beach below. Being typically distraught, his mother went along to the coastguard station further along the beach and asked for their help - as it was a quiet day, out they went on scramble with a hand-drawn "Whale Rescue Team" sign in the windscreen of their Land Rover hehe

Travelling Ted fancied a crack at the title.



Turns out he's not a good loser.

I can't help but think of Mr Oizo whenever I see that.

Up until, ooh, about two minutes ago, I thought that *was* Mr Oizo.

It is, but the white ones are sold exclusively by the White Company.

Our granddaughter wants to know that she's never far away from one, so between us and her parents we have 6 of them!

I never cease to be amazed that she can tuck one under her arm and then do pretty well everything as if it's not there.
