If a mouse looks like a cookie....
Benjamin the mouse (who looks like a mouse from a famous book) lived with a little boy for the first six years of both their lives. But one day, a dog mistook Benjamin for a cookie, and this was the result:
For almost six years, Benjamin was hidden away... too damaged to play with but too loved to part with. Until, the little boy's mother heard about a stuffed animal hospital, and sent Benjamin my way.
Benjamin didn't need a spa, he'd been cleaned up all those years ago, but he did need his parts put back together (arm attached, chest reattached to legs, overalls repaired) and some supplemental stuffing (since he hadn't had any cookies recently). Here are his first photos after surgery. These are to check his chubbiness, so he still had some open seams:
And here he is all better, ready to fly home for more adventures (with his boy, but hopefully not with the dog!):
He's perfect! wrote his family.
