My Theodore Bear is a white cotton teddy bear with red heart that covers the majority of his abdomen, right in the middle of his stomach. Red and black shiny plastic eyes; big black center with red outer rims. Made with a red felt nose and a red stitched-on smile. His ears are red too, but not completely, just the insides. He used to have a red ribbon around his neck, but I remember my mom taking it off of him when I was in preschool because the teachers were worried it was a choking/strangulation hazard. I’ve had him for over twenty years; my mother got him for me on my first birthday and made to return him, but I refused to let go so she decided to let me keep him. He has been my only comfort throughout a childhood of having a broken family and estranged siblings, not to mention the bullying I went through all throughout my time in public school. Unfortunately, now he is in the beginning stages of falling apart and I can’t bear to lose him. He is also about a foot long in length and very lightweight—but that might also be because he’s old and flimsy now. If anyone can help me identify him so I can either get another one or know the specs so I can get him fixed, it would be greatly appreciated. The thought of losing him feels indescribable, almost like thinking about losing a family member. He’s helped me through so much and is a huge part of who I am today. And if anyone knows of a professional restorer who I can trust, I will be more than happy to send him in to get fixed so I can have him for years to come. Also, apologies for the lack of two eyes in the photo. My service dog chewed the other one out while he was still a puppy in training. Thank you all so much!!!!

Hi, my name is Destiny, I'm 23. When I moved away from home I lost my "Theodore Bear" except my guys cleverly named "Teddy". If the tag is still intact on yours or you remember any information about how or where you got him please let me know?!
