When young
Grayson lost Teddy, his favorite teddy bear, on a recent Southwest flight to
New Orleans, his mother Chrissy Mulligan tried to locate it to no avail.
She reached out to Southwest on
social media about the missing bear but the airline couldn't find it either.
But almost a month later, she posted
good news.
"I
received a call last week from a gentleman at Southwest Airlines corporate office.
He said that my Facebook post on Southwest’s page caught a lot of attention ... Internally
they talked about the next steps and came
up with an idea to send Grayson a new bear along with a picture book explaining how he was coming to
live with Grayson."
The bear
says, "It's been a busy season here at Southwest Airlines, and I'm almost all done with my work
here. Guess what!? I get to come live with you! I'm so excited about meeting my
new best friend. I wanted to share some pictures of what I do at Southwest
and my trip to meet you!"
The bear
can be seen doing everything from working on the tarmac, inspecting the cockpit and getting the plane ready
for passengers.
Mulligan
wrote a thank you message on Southwest’s Facebook page.
"You
have some very special people who work for this airline, with some of the
kindest hearts," she wrote. "This story alone is adorable! I know
Teddy was never found and we know there were so many people involved in finding
him and our other post was shared over and over again to try and find him. We
were very overwhelmed with the response
it received."
She also revealed the new bear's name:
Jack.
Southwest spokesperson
Derek Hubbard said in a statement: "Ready for a new friend and loving
home, our Southwest Airlines teddy bear made
his trek across the friendly skies, making sure to document every step
of the way. Grayson and his new friend 'Jack' have been inseparable ever since.
