Canadian senator Paula Simons sent out a now-viral tweet about a lost stuffed bunny at the airport.
Amid the chaotic winter storm that hit Vancouver that resulted in an unprecedented number of cancelled flights, Canadian senator Paula Simons sent out a rare, wholesome tweet about a lost stuffed bunny at the airport on Wednesday morning.
"Do you know this bunny? This well-loved fren got left behind in the frenzy at the Vancouver airport today. My daughter turned Bunny into the YVR lost & found this evening, after her own flight was cancelled. She's hoping for a happy ending. (I am too)," the senator wrote in her tweet.
