KINGSLAND, Ga. -- A Georgia woman has found an unusual way to cope with missing her military husband -- a mannequin that looks just like him.

Suzy Walker purchased a sailor mannequin on eBay, which she says looks eerily like her husband. He is currently serving aboard the USS West Virginia.

She takes him out to dinner, to the movies and even to buy lottery tickets.

Walker says the mannequin helps her get through the newlyweds' first separation.

The mannequin weighs about 40 pounds.
