The bittersweet story of the bunny on the train.

In a story that reads like the plot of a Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks movie, a sad little bunny who was lost on a train, has been reunited with his owner.

On Friday, the Zhong family was travelling on a train in Sydney, when their youngest daughter dropped her beloved bunny out of her pram.

I’m sad. A child dropped bunny from pram getting off at Wynyard as doors closed. @T1SydneyTrains please help to reunite! #sadbunny pic.twitter.com/ZEnswqEEHH

Andrew Parker, who was also travelling on the train, saw the bunny fall out just as the doors were closing at Wynyard Station.

Parker was determined to reunite the bunny with its owner and so the search began.

@ajamesparker Hi Andrew. Can you let us know what service you were on and what carriage you were in? We’ll see what we can do.

He posted an image of the soft toy on Twitter, asking Sydney Trains to help him with his quest and when the transport company replied, the people of Twitter really wanted to see a happy ending.

@ajamesparker @T1SydneyTrains I want to know the end of this story..

And they got it. Thanks to the good will of one man and the power of social media, the bunny owner’s dad saw the tweet and reached out to Parker.

@ajamesparker @T1SydneyTrains Hi mate! My daughter is the owner of the bunny. She just dropped it when we got off the train in Wynyard station(She was in the stroller).
