The return of the bear to the arms of Naomi Pascal recorded 12, 000 ‘like’ the Glacier National Park Facebook page, “it’s a beautiful story that resonates,” said Ben Pascal, Naomi’s father and pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
In October 2020, the Pascal family went on vacation to Montana and during a walk in Glacier National Park, Naomi lost Teddy.
The night snowfall prevented Naomi’s parents from going out to look for the teddy bear.
Terry Hayden, a family friend who accompanied them on their trip, reported the disappearance of the stuffed animal to park officials, hoping someone might return it.
A short time later, Ranger Tom Mazzarisi, specialist in royal bears in Glaci er, he found the teddy bear, soaked in the melted snow near Hidden Lake Trail.
a lot of money is thrown away, ”Mazzarisi said. He did not know that the loss of the stuffed animal had been reported, but for some reason he did not dare to throw it away.
Teddy “hibernated ”At Mazzarisi’s cabin on St. Mary’s until the ranger returned to work in April.
In June, Addie Pascal, Naomi’s mother , posted on Facebook a plea for help finding Teddy, saying, “He has been by her side through so many situations. But there are many more adventures to live! ”
Hayden felt so bad about Teddy’s loss that he decided to return to Glacier Park in late September and stopped by to check out potential lost and found sites.
During the search, Hayden and his adult niece, spotted a teddy bear in a ranger’s truck and took a picture of it that they sent to the Pascals, who quickly confirmed Teddy’s identity.
The Rangers returned the bear to Hayden along with a ranger badge and hat.
Hayden sent the bear to Naomi, who got Teddy back 11 months after losing it and He also gave another teddy bear to Mazzarisi, who named him Clover.
