A 6 year-old girl from Kansas has just been reunited with her special doll that honors her deployed soldier father thanks to two determined women and a social media campaign.

The doll was found at Kansas City International Airport by staffer Dina Morley, who could tell right away that the doll was special and loved.

“I work at valet services by Southwest Airlines,” Dina said. “A customer walked up to me and said she found it on the floor. I kept it at valet services for a few days, hoping somebody would call about it or come back for it, but nobody did.”

Dina teamed up with her friend Heather Parsons to find the owner of the doll by launching a social media campaign. The campaign quickly went viral, and the owner of the doll was eventually identified as 6-year-old Katherine Whipple.

Army Capt. Eileen Whipple, Katherine’s mom, said that she believed the doll was gone forever after her daughter misplaced the toy sometime before the family boarded a 6 a.m. flight from the Kansas City airport the week before. Katherine’s dad is an Army major who is stationed at Fort Leavenworth, and he will not be home until the summer.

“I was traveling with my 18-month-old and my 6-year-old,” Eileen said. “We were very, very late and she stopped and started tearing up saying she thought she dropped it. I checked the picture I took of her to commemorate the trip and didn’t see it in her arms, so I figured she left in the car or at the house.”

When Dina and Heather met up with Katherine to return the doll, the child immediately said, “My daddy doll.”

Eileen was incredibly grateful that strangers would return the doll.

“She sleeps with it pretty much every night,” the Army captain said. “I would’ve had a very sad little girl.”
