I almost lost that moon dog figurine many, many times. What I noticed happening - and I'm not sure if this is what has happened to you or not, is that whenever I used the item, and depleted its charges, it disappeared from my inventory, only to return once I rested (thereby replenishing the charges). Now, I'm one of those people that constantly runs around with my inventory full, so when the game tried to place the figurine back into my character's inventory (rather than in the quick-slots where I kept it), it dropped to the ground because my inventory was full, and of course, I - never remembering or even realizing this happened, rarely noticed the thing sitting on the ground. This was just the way the game handled items with charges (that replenished when you rested).

I do believe, however, that this was changed - either in TOB, or in one of the more recent patches. You might want to check the TOB manual for the list of what changed with the expansion and find out whether this is one of the things they've changed (I seem to have misplaced mine, all I can seem to find is the quick reference card).

I can tell you that the moon dog never runs out of 'charges'. It has a certain amount of charges per day, and resting always replenishes those charges. I can also tell you that the above scenario used to happen to me *all* the time, and it might be what has happened to you.

If this was the case, chances are you're probably not going to find it again (unless you're really lucky and happen to wander by the location where you originally lost it), so as someone else already suggested, you're probably better off using CLUA Console to create another figurine. It won't mess your game up or anything. =)
