Blue plush dinosaur with orange belly
I found this plush dinosaur this afternoon around 3:15pm near the Lincoln Library on Main Street, outside the entrance by the bike racks. It's about 14 inches tall, bright blue fur with an orange belly, and no visible tag. The left paw has a tiny purple heart stitched on, and the tail tip is a bit frayed from play. It looked lonely sitting there, so I picked it up to keep it safe. If this sounds like yours, reach out with the purple-heart-on-paw clue or tell me roughly where you last saw it, and I'll arrange a meet-up to return it.
