After three years of loss, a 7-year-old boy has finally found his long-lost stuffed animal.

A boy and his family were on vacation together when the kindergartener lost his buddy “Ah Ah,” a blue stuffed monkey. After days of searching, the family gave up hope on finding the boy’s best friend.

After enduring three years of childhood heartbreak, the boy’s mother randomly searched for “blue monkey” on eBay and suddenly found a stuffed animal that closely resembled the one her son had lost.

After the animal had arrived, the mom was shocked to realize that it was “Ah Ah!” From the cut tag to the singed fur, Ah Ah had returned to them via a random find on eBay.
