Now that’s how you follow up a 2012 Christmas proposal! According to the guy’s comments on YouTube, the family dog had destroyed the teddy bear years ago. After an extensive online search through 10,000+ vintage teddy bears he was able to find the same make/model. He then took the remains of the original bear to a ‘teddy bear hospital’ where they restored the original to its past glory. Whitey lives!
Interesting that it was the smell of the bear that triggered her long-term memory.
