Lost teddy bear explores museum while staff search for owner

A museum in Saskatchewan took an interesting approach in trying to reunite a lost teddy bear with its owner.

Last month, the staff at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum noticed a distressed little boy running out of the T-rex exhibit, frightened by the extinct creature, the CBC reports.

After seeing the little boy cry, in an attempt to comfort him, a gallery interpreter promised that his teddy bear would help protect him.

Later that day, however, the staff found the heroic teddy bear in the men’s washroom, but with his little owner nowhere in sight.

“My boss was like, ‘wouldn’t it be kind of cute if we took some pictures of the bear having adventures around the museum?’” Gallery interpreter Jenna Cannon told the CBC.

And that’s just what they did.

Using the hashtag #LostBear, the staff documented the bear’s adventures through the museum, seemingly, throughout the Ages.

The lost teddy bear is seen hanging out with wolves, dinosaurs, extinct birds and his newest friend: RCMP Paddington.

And until his owner comes back for him, the teddy bear is trying to make the most of his time by having lunch with museum goers.

“Normally whatever gets lost, we go through it eventually and end up donating it,” said Cannon, although the museum staff hopes that that won’t be the case for this fuzzy friend.

And although the staff is having a great time with the bear, she says that she “thinks the little boy is missing him a lot more than [she’ll] be when he leaves.”
