Lost stuffed seal pup in Jefferson Park!

Thanks for posting that, rangerchick! I also PMed Oregon Surveyor. Hopefully the little guy will see the photo tonight and at least know his seal pup is alive and well!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Everyone has been over-the-top generous it has blown my mind. It's crazy what people can do when they unite together! I was convinced that my son's seal pup was lost forever but everyone here has proven me wrong!

Thank you so much again, it means the world to us!

I just sent another pic from Eric, showing "Smoky" the Seal at Hunts Cove, riding on Eric's shoulder. Hopefully someone will post it here--I seem to have forgotten how to do it. My internet was down for about half an hour, so it's a bit delayed.

I hope the little guy is able to sleep now that he knows his seal is alive, well cared-for and coming home!

Another email from Eric--he is in touch with the little boy's mom, sent her a pic ot the seal, and arranged to meet them Thursday to return the seal.

Any parent (or grandparent in my case), can appreciate just how attached the little ones can get to a stuffed toy (usually a specific one) and how upset they can get when it is missing!

I love happy endings, don't you?

I want to see the pictures of where the pup has visited

A reminder to keep your seal pups on a leash at all times. Glad this had a happy ending. What a great group of hikers here.

Yep, definitely a web-based S&R mission. I'm sure we would also mobilize to rescue Swag if he was lost too!

Here's Ranger Eric and "smokey" the seal pup above Hunts Cove!
