frog found!

as if the hopkin green frog saga wasn’t sad enough, boing-boing tracked down the real story, and it’s just as touching:
Hopkin’s bereaved owner is a 16-year-old autistic boy, who was very upset about the loss of his toy. According to his father, he’s gotten over the loss of Hopkin and giving him a replacement Hokpin would be a bad idea, as it would re-open old wounds.
