Young Girl Reunited With Lost Stuffie

A young girl lost her beloved stuffie, Strawberry, in Caneland Central mall this week, but the pair was later reunited thanks to some eagle-eyed locals and a post on Facebook.

After the loss of the big cuddly cat toy, the little girl’s mum reached out to Mackay residents on a Facebook community board, putting out a plea to anyone who might have seen it.

“If your child is taking care of Strawberry currently, I will give them some money to go out and purchase a new toy cat so our daughter can have her baby back.” She kindly wrote.

“She has been crying everyday asking for her to come home. She has to be somewhere.”

Thanks to some eagle-eyed locals, Strawberry was located. Somehow, the cat had been collected and donated to a charity shop – even wearing the same dress she had been lost in.

The grateful mum headed straight out to retrieve the toy, before reaching out again to thank all the helpers for bringing Strawberry home.

Commenters celebrated the toy’s return.

“Oh just imagine the story little Strawberry could tell about her adventure!” NJ wrote.

“So glad you got her back.”
