Lost at PN Hospital Poogle Pet (Healing mascot)
For the past 10 years my Mother has been though 8 major surgeries and many many smaller procedures and hospital visits.
Through it all (even into the surgery prep room) Pooch / Poogle has been her healing mascot - given to her by her Grandson for her first surgery.
On Monday 30th September she was admitted to Ward 28. Pooch was faithfully with her. When she left on Wednesday 2nd October she couldn't see him anywhere. We have been to lost property at the hospital many times and no-one in the ward seems to know.
It is now obvious someone has Pooch - perhaps a child picked him up?
Please - if you know the wherabouts of Pooch help. It is so very important healing Pooch gets back to his owner.
Pooch is a Neopet Mac Donalds toy - about the size of an apple (sits on your hand) made of soft foam and yellow fabric
