Poor little Maddie Cross lost her Pink Bunny while her family were on holidays in Devon. However, all hope was not lost.

A campaign to find the owner of the bunny began on Facebook and soon amassed 30,000 fans who shared the photo of the poor lost bear, according to the Daily Mail.

Maddie’s parents were distraught at leaving the bear behind and Maddie was unable to sleep without her cuddly friend.

Pink Bunny was found by Mrs. Hitchens who posted a picture of the toy to Facebook.

After just 24 hours, Maddie’s family came forward to claim the teddy.

Maddie’s father Brad Cross said: 'We had been at the beach and were sure we had Maddie’s teddy with us but when she told us she’d lost - mainly through a lot of crying and tears - we searched and search but had no luck.”

'He’s her comforter and she couldn’t sleep a wink without him all Bank Holiday - so when we saw Deborah’s campaign on Facebook we were utterly delighted.”

Before Pink Bunny was returned to Maddie, Mrs. Hitchens took some lovely photos to keep the little girl posted on his adventures while he was away.

A very happy ending.
