Sometimes it is easy to help and sometimes small gestures are a great help.
Sure that Pau loved the help that hundreds of tweeters provided when he lost his stuffed animal and especially when they managed to locate him and he could go back to sleep with him as he had been doing.

Pau walked by the hand of his parents through the center of his city, Valladolid, with his stuffed animal Lila, and it seems that at some point he gave up and the doll disappeared. Obviously for a small child like him, these are older words.
Although they searched for it, they didn't find it, so the only solution they came up with, specifically Pau's aunt, was to appeal to the solidarity of Valladolid's neighbors and it worked!
Through twitter, María San Miguel, told what had happened, put a picture of the stuffed animal and asked for help to see if they found it together.
The call was attended by hundreds of citizens through this social network, more or less known journalists, the local police and even the mayor of Valladolid encouraged to see if they all found the missing stuffed animal.
That night Pau could not sleep with his doll as he had been doing until that moment practically since he was born, but the nights of solitude were scarce, because Lila (so called the doll) returned home in less than a week.
An innocently happy ending

In less than a week Lila returned home or ... a sister of his. A neighbor found her in an appliance repair shop in the Madrid municipality of Boadilla del Monte, about one hundred and eighty kilometers from where she had lost herself.
It is very unlikely that it is the same stuffed animal but for Pau, seven years old, the news is that Lila has been able to return home and sleep with him, having previously passed through the washing machine.
The innocence of the child has done, as pointed out by his aunt to a local media, that at no time had even the slightest doubt that this was his lost stuffed animal that had returned to his side.
Sometimes it's not that complicated

It is not the first story we know in which solidarity through a social network helps to comfort a child after the loss of his doll.
Another baby lost his attachment doll and solidarity managed to comfort him by showing him where he was and explaining why he had gone "on a trip". Losses like this, bathed in solidarity and thanks to the infinite childhood innocence, are somewhat less painful, don't you think?
The importance for a child of a doll with which he sleeps, an attachment doll, is very great. It helps many people fall asleep, gives them the confidence they need to turn off the light and sleep peacefully.
The dolls are like "psychological anchors" to what they know when for example they travel and sleep in a bed that is not their own, they help them calm down and make them part of their fantasies, as well as being a playmate magnificent
