    I’d be absolutely devastated to lose a stuffed animal when I was a kid. I’d be quite sad now even. I’m so glad they did this for him ❤️ I bet that kid’s whole world changed

      I lost mine on a vacation as a kid. 17 or so years later I don’t really remember it, but my mom still gets teary eyed thinking about it lol, I’d had it pretty much since birth.

      My kid is severely autistic (like mostly non-verbal sever) and had this stuffed magenta (from blues clue) that he took everywhere(except school). He was in the children’s hospital and they lost it over night.

      Luckily we got him a new one (basically the same except ears and tail not ripped off and now had glasses?) and he seems to be be ok with the change, but it’s hard to tell. Those few days waiting for it to arrive were hell though.
