A six-year-old boy was distraught when his toy tiger went missing - little did he know the airport adventure his cuddly friend was embarking on.
Little Owen, and his mother Amanda Lake, were travelling from Florida to Texas when cuddly tiger, Hobbes, went MIA.
Lake made a frantic call to Tampa International Airport in Florida, where Hobbes had thankfully been recovered from a children's play area, according to US news website npr.
However, once Hobbes was safe and sound, airport staff came up with a quirky idea, taking the stuffed animal on an "adventure" around the airport.
Airport Operations Center staff took the toy to several spots across the campus, photographing his journey. The pictures were stuck in to a photo book as a surprise for Owen when he came to pick up his friend.
