Losing a stuffed animal or a similar valuable personal belonging can be devastating to a child, as parents will often jump through hoops to find the item or do their best to replace it.
The Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport recently found a missing teddy bear, but now needs the internet's help to get it back to the rightful owner.
Airport officials said that the teddy bear belonged to a person traveling in or out of the city on Jan. 4.
This teddy bear is truly a special item because it's one that is often given to children who are born with congenital heart defects.
Recognize this face? The search for bear's owner continues! Thank you for helping us spread the word and to those who pointed out that this bear likely belongs to a kid born with CHD. How special he must be. Let's get him home! pic.twitter.com/hCZc4RhF0P

UPDATE:
Luckily, it appears the search is over! The airport provided an update on Wednesday afternoon, saying that the owner has been found and they are currently working on retuning the teddy bear.
