PIC: Cork Airport is still searching for the owner of Teddy, the abandoned bear

They want your help.

ICYMI, a teddy bear, that’s been named ‘Teddy’, was found in Cork Airport a few days ago so the people running the airport’s social media put a call out to the public to reunite it with its owner.

The response was huge, look at these likes and shares.

Despite the massive response on Facebook, the owner of Teddy wasn’t found so they posted more updates earlier this week.

There’s something about the thought of a little kid missing their teddy bear that’s struck a chord with the public because people are determined to see a happy ending to this story.

The staff at Cork Airport has posted another update this evening, it’s not good news.

“Day 4 at Cork Airport: Teddy is keeping busy helping Aer Lingus with baggage while waiting to be claimed back by little owner. Please keep up the sharing as we all love a happy ending.”

One theory in the comments sections makes a lot of sense; maybe the kid that lost Teddy is on a week-long holiday so it might not get updates on this until it gets home.

Fingers crossed this all works out, it’s a very sweet story.
