Teddy bear flies 200 miles to get back to little girl – and airline documents his journey

According to ABC news . One beloved teddy bear got left behind by his best friend and had to travel a great distance to be reunited with his owner.

Donna, who asked ABC News not to use her last name, was traveling on Monday with her 4-year-old daughter Summer back to their hometown of Orkney, Scotland, from Edinburgh Airport in the country’s capital.

The mother said the two didn’t realize “Teddy,” as he is lovingly known, was left behind until they sat down on the plane.

“I panicked and called the cabin crew guy over, who said he’d [likely] be at security,” she added, noting that while going through airport security it was “really crazy.”

“It must’ve fallen off of something,” Donna said.

Walter was able to locate Teddy and personally flew him back Wednesday to Orkney herself to reunite him with Summer.

“Whenever our team was made aware of the ‘grizzly’ situation, we knew there could be pandemonium if we didn’t help,” Loganair’s Commercial Director Kay Ryan told ABC News in a statement. “Our cabin crew team quickly tracked down the bear and arranged for him to be on the next service up to Orkney. It was wonderful to see Teddy back in the company of Summer and we’re pleased to have played a role. Loganair prides itself on bringing everyone, including Teddy, home for Christmas.”
