A mission led by people on Twitter and Sydney Trains to reunite a lost cuddly rabbit toy with its rightful owner has been successful.
GUYS… IT HAPPENED!
Thanks to your tireless efforts & @ajamesparker, we've reunited #SadBunny with its owner! #SadBunny is now #HappyBunny pic.twitter.com/hN2KVVu6ID— Trains Info (@TrainsInfo) May 20, 2017
The operation began after Andrew Parker posted a tweet saying: “I’m sad. A child dropped bunny from pram getting off at Wynyard as doors closed. @T1SydneyTrains please help to reunite! #sadbunny”He let Sydney Trains know what service he was on and the carriage he was in and was asked to pass the bunny onto station staff.
BUNNY UPDATE: Bunny is now safely with our fantastic staff. We're still waiting for the owner to come forward to be reunited. #SadBunny pic.twitter.com/K7hfeNnqon

Sydney Trains seemed to work pretty hard throughout the mission to find the owner.

In the meantime, people had to suffer through some uncertainty over the fate of the bunny, and shared their feelings through the hashtag #sadbunny.
Gosh I sure hope that bunny finds its owner. Nothing worse for a child than a sleepless night without the bunny ?? #sadbunny

“Yay” really is the only word for it.
