Description
Had the bear's companion forgotten or abandoned this teddy? The park walkway was deserted when I took this picture. When I walked by an hour later, the bear was gone. Had his companion returned or had the bear found a new friend?

Awww...how sweet!! I would like to think the friend knew bear was tired and needed a little rest before resuming the journey. Beautiful.

Apparently they left it just so you could find it and capture this lovely image. We'll imagine that the original owner was the one who returned to retrieve it.

Reminds me of a photo I once took of a huge teddy discarded into a trash can. So sad...did you adopt it? LOL
Nikolyn McDonald
Awwwww . . . loved for sure. I sure hope whoever took the teddy was also related to the owner of the jacket.

Great find and capture!

I would love to have taken him home but the jacket suggested my not quite abandoned. Thank You!

Great photo with a story, Calvin. I think that the owner came back, he was well wrapped up therefore loved and nicely looked after!! L/F

Was the jacket gone, too? Or just the bear? This is a really sweet and touching image, Calvin!! Wonderful storytelling!!! Love it!! :)))
Calvin Boyer replied:
Both jacket and bear--which probably suggests the owner came back--but who knows. I still covet the bear.... Than you!!!

So sweet, I think, his companion came back!
Calvin Boyer replied:
I truly have wondered if the owner was giving him up for adoption or simply had forgotten to take him along.... THANK

Sweet picture!...and story.
Calvin Boyer replied:
THANK YOU. Had I picked the bear up, I would have felt conflicted. I hope the bear years later is still in a loving home... THANKS
