An adorable teddy bear that was forgotten at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum is going on the adventure of its “life,” all the while looking for its little owner.
On June 23, museum staff spotted a frightened kid racing out of the museum’s T-Rex exhibit, CBC News reported. He was clutching a stuffed teddy bear, but clearly his grip wasn’t tight enough because, later that day, the bear was found in the men’s washroom without its owner in tow.
So, staff got down to tracking its owner in a rather unconventional way: They took the lonely teddy on a mini-adventure, posting pictures on social media with the hashtag #lostbear in the hopes that someone will recognize him.
They retraced his steps to Megamunch the T-Rex
Did your teddy bear go missing? He’s here and we think he wants to go home. #Megamunch is too scary. #lostbear pic.twitter.com/uwigNNoAwd

Here he is sampling some delish honey:
Oh dear. Bear is lost AND hungry. “Do you bees have any honey?” asks #lostbear. pic.twitter.com/AJTCqow8vy

Teddy even thought he found his family

But for now, he’s shacking up with these guys:
In the meantime, #lostbear is being fostered by the Bear family. Bye for now! http://t.co/TLegDEjfDB pic.twitter.com/QSch3jTTcU

So, if you or anyone you know has lost their precious (and now quite well educated) teddy bear, tell them to contact the Royal Saskatchewan Museum immediately! Otherwise, we think the little guy just might become the museum’s unofficial mascot.
We can’t wait to hear about the reunion. Here’s hoping it looks something like this:
