It's like a real-life version of "Toy Story:" a British woman found a discarded "Woody" doll on the side of the road, and wants to get it home.



Bev McNeill saw the discarded toy on the side of a highway while stuck in traffic, according to ABC News. McNeill wasn't able to get out of her car the first time, but made a point to grab the doll when she saw it again several weeks later.



"The guy in the car behind me was giving me a very strange look, but when I held up Woody to show him, he just said 'Aww,'" McNeill told ABC News.



The doll has its owner's name written on its boot, just like in the movies. Now McNeill is trying to find this mysterious Liam with the help of social media.



McNeill's story was shared thousands of times in just a day after she tweeted it out with the hashtag #GetWoodyHome, which quickly trended on Twitter.



Pixar Animation Studios is owned by the Walt Disney Co., which also owns ABC 7 Chicago.
