PATCHOGUE, NY - A Long Island mom is asking the community for help after her 7-year-old daughter lost her beloved stuffed dinosaur at last week's Alive After Five event in Patchogue. Liz Walker was at the event held on Thursday night with her daughter, Olivia, when she lost Rosie the dinosaur. The stuffed animal had been in the family for about four years.

"She comes with us everywhere. She is basically a part of the family, she has a birthday, and a pile of Christmas presents made by Olivia and wrapped under the tree," Walker told Patch. "We are all devastated."

Rosie (pictured above) was wearing the same red and green pajamas when she went missing.
