Lost toy- pls help me find a replacement!

[extraT]

My little girl had a pull string dog that went with us everywhere. Now we can’t find it and she is heartbroken tearing the house apart in a search and rescue operation.

This is the dog, unavailable on Amazon

Additional info: We live in Austria...

Anybody has any better Google fu then we do?

Go onto Amazon and select email me when in stock. Sometimes that prompts sellers to put things up for sale.

Don’t happen to have friends in South Africa do you?

ETA: google image search and see what comes up, a deeper trawl than what I did might yield better results.

You could see how friendly ze German supplier of other “funny animal parade” toys is

Manufacturer/importer seem to be Spiegelburg DE: https://spiegelburg-international.com/articles/

Lots of German Google links to them, but most places seem out of stock - I suspect, being in Austria, your German is better than mine.

I remember when Vikingette1 was 2 years old and having to contact Chinese toy manufacturers for a pink lamb! The things we do!

Ebay for pre-loved if you cannot get new

Don't be mean, OP. Get her a real dog! You can superglue it to a skateboard.

Seriously, I hope you can find her a replacement, or better still, the original turns up soon.

If you can find the importer / manufacturer try them.

This worked for me when I emailed a ceo and they went the extra mile to find a replacement - eventually from a cupboard in their packaging designers office.

When my daughter was young she lost her favourite teddy bear.
After much searching I found a shop that still had some old stock, I bought three just in case.
Two of them are still securely wrapped up in the attic!

OP, looks like someone has joined PH to help you out!

Hey,

I registered to help out the guy whose daughter lost her beloved toy dog., The site says I can't post for two weeks? No biggie, I can wait but meanwhile, I found the toy. Maybe one of you good folk can pass the word along before I get a spanking for posting in the wrong section. The trick is to search the ASIN number from the Amazon listing.
