An intrepid explorer hopes to be reunited with his travel partner, after his cuddly toy companion was stolen. Proud owner Peter Franc, of London, travelled the world with the fluffy rabbit - aptly named ‘Travel Bunny’, visiting over 20 countries in nine years and taking an enviable series of snaps along the way. The globetrotting pair have visited a host of iconic landmarks, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy to The Great Barrier Reef in Australia, with Travel Bunny popping up in each picture. But the pair’s journey together ended when tragedy struck - Travel Bunny was stolen from Peter’s car.
