Lost stuffed dog on flight - help!

96 replies

LaMadrilena · 20/08/2024 07:53

My 3yo seems to have left her stuffed dog on our Ryanair flight MAD-LPL on Sunday morning. We're devastated. Any advice on what we can do to try to track her down?

LPL have confirmed they don't have her. I've posted on a lost and found site called white boomerang.com.

Does anyone know of any other sites to use? Could I find out where our plane went after LPL so I can check lost property there?

I can't believe how sad I am about her! I'm kicking myself for not checking more carefully under seats etc but getting off was a bit of a rush.

I'd appreciate any help or advice.

Wonderful update! Though I think you should buy the eBay one as a spare - or at least inform the seller why their listing went mental.

warning: I bought a spare then stupidly showed it to my small child. I then had to find 2 new spares to not show child as the spare and original ‘became friends’ and I was terrified of both going missing!

There has been a miracle and WE GOT OUR DOGGY BACK!!!

A lovely lady at Swissport has been looking after her at her office all week, saw one of my desperate posts on Facebook and brought her to our door this afternoon. She's even going to send us some photos of her helping out around the office.

Aren't people lovely?

That's lovely of her your dc will love the photos

OMG this makes my heart sing! Wonderful news!

please please make sure anything so precious that it absolutely can’t be lost is ‘in charge of guarding your bedroom’ next time.

Lovely ending for you and your daughter Op , watched a Poirot episode with a fox terrier, sweet little dog .

What a cracking thread and what a lovely lady :)

Toddlerteaplease · 22/08/2024 21:49

That's wonderful news. There was a thread a few years ago where a Teddy was left at the Houses of Parliament, and found its way home via an MP.

Boredshitless1 · 22/08/2024 21:49

Aah this is so lovely to read . We lost my granddaughter mouse last year . She now has three identical ones for JIC ! The original was found a couple of weeks later at our apartment in Mallorca. We had turned it upside down! It was in a random hidden cupboard that GD must have opened ,one that we hadn’t used ! Fair to say the cleaner got a nice bonus .

Wonderful !

@WombatCowgirl

I'm very pleased for the 3yo too, but MORE pleased for her Mummy!!!

@LaMadrilena it's been a bit of a crap day. I haven't opened your thread before now as I knew I couldn't help & I'd just end up crying (NO emotional resilience at the moment) & I'm am crying, but for a happy reason!

that's incredibly lucky that things just fell into place.

im still traumatised by my brothers little bear going missing in the hotel/airport in LA & that was 48 years ago!

(and he was found! Mum had put him into a bag absent mindedly!!)
