A father’s search for his daughter’s lost stuffed animal has gone viral on social media.

Max Sharples’s three-year-old daughter OIive left her plush rabbit Flopsy on a city-bound train from Werribee on Friday morning.

“She went for a train ride with her grandma as a bit of an adventure. They went on a train to Flinders Street and came back,” the Newport father of two said.

“But when they got home they found out the rabbit was missing and there were some tears. Grandma retraced her steps and went to lost property but couldn’t find it.”

He said Flopsy was Olive’s favourite toy and was given to her at her baby shower. “It goes with her everywhere,” he said.
