New Bedford Lost Teddy Bear Searching for Its Owner

Let's talk nostalgia for a minute. Think about your favorite childhood stuffed animal. Maybe you still have it.

For me, it was a small Barney the dinosaur. Can you tell I grew up in the '90s? I brought this guy everywhere – on hikes, vacations, car rides and sleeping, of course.

In fact, I still have him. He may only have one eye left, but I still have him. I'm sure many of you have hung on to your favorites too.

Stuffed animals or special blankets hold a special place in our hearts and if your child has a favorite that they tote around, you'll definitely want to listen up.

Teddy Bear Found at Local Restaurant

Toast N' Jam, the popular New Bedford breakfast spot, recently discovered a teddy bear in the restaurant.

"Usually things that get left behind, somebody will come and claim them once they realize they don't have it," Lisa Soares, manager of Toast N' Jam, said.

However, no one has come to claim the sweet teddy, so Toast N' Jam shared a photo on its Facebook page in hopes of finding the owner.

"Let's see if we can find someone that this little bear belongs to, they're probably missing it," Soares said.

It's now been two months. I can't imagine what would happen if Slothy or Tiny (my kids' beloved stuffed animals) went missing.

If you have a child with a favorite toy, imagine their reaction if they lost it. You would stop at nothing to try and reunite them.

"We're definitely going to hold on to it and hopefully somebody comes to claim it. It's the cutest little thing," Soares said.

So help Toast N' Jam find this teddy bear's home. Spread the word and bring a smile to a SouthCoast child.
