Do you recognise this teddy?

A family has put out an appeal to find the owner of a pink teddy bear after it was found in a playground.

The multi-coloured bear was discovered in Hednesford Park the day after an organised teddy bears picnic had been held.

Mother-of-two Samantha Spink's young son Thomas, aged four, spotted the cuddly toy abandoned near the swings.

The family brought the bear back to their Keys Close home and put out messages and a photo on both Facebook and the Burntwood Mums website.

But despite thousands of views, no-one has come forward to claim it.

Mrs Spinks said: "It's a shame because it's a beautiful teddy bear. It's mainly pink but with other colours coming through, it's not a cheap bear.

"The sad thing is that it was lost just after the park had a teddy bears picnic so it must be someone's favourite bear.

"I really hope the owner comes forward so the bear can get back home."

The teddy was found on Saturday, the day after the bears' picnic and treasure hunt, an event which had been postponed from the week before because of heavy rain.

Mrs Spink added: "If no one claims him, my daughter has asked whether she can have him, so whatever happens, he will have a good home."
