NEWARK, New Jersey (WABC) — If you were touched by the story of the slaughterhouse-bound steer who made a run for it – you can soon snuggle up to your own ‘Ricardo’ – sort of.
New Jersey Transit is offering a Ricardo plush toy on its New Jersey Transit Shoppe website for $20.
A portion of the proceeds will go toward supporting Ricardo’s new life at an animal sanctuary.
The toy will be released on January 3rd.
The real Ricardo was granted a new shot at life after he broke free and ran through Newark Penn Station – delaying trains last Thursday.
