    Ray Darcy often features searches like this in his Fix It Friday Slot

    Might be worth a try, he could ask his listeners if they can help you. Hope you find Ted.

    I remember when I was a nipper I had a little bear I loved which I called Foggy Face. One day my brother threw him out the window and he landed in the garden of my next door neighbour who happened to own a really big dalmatian called Ziggy. Ziggy took Foggy face and ripped him to shreds before my eyes, shaking his head from side to side as mounds of (probably poisonous and now banned) fluff took to the wind.
    It was hard enough to witness that at five years old, but what made it worse was that most of the fluffy innards got caught in the neighbours bushes, and stayed there for weeks, so every time I looked out my bedroom window, it was like viewing a children's version of the movie Hostel.

    I hope your bear turns up safe, or you find a close replacement so that nobody ever has to know the horror an innocent bear can witness.

    Hahaha, great story but sad too


    Hopefully Ziggy had a hard time passing Froggys button eyes....the fecker

    Aw sorry. I'm a bit slow today (more than other days ;))
    I was wondering why you mentioned the seals.

    I've been looking. The only one I found was on ebay but withdrawn. Maybe you could get in touch with that person??

    You could also try sticking a free ad up on adverts.ie?

    The tag in the image says, "Little lovelies". This is probably a name of a for-Tesco range made by some company. I've had a search online but found nothing of use. It might help Tesco identify it though; the original manufacturer might have some.

    Also, there was one sold on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yummy-Mummy-Cuddly-Teddy-Bear/dp/B00ALEQUHM

    The guy who bought it didn't like it, he only gave it a 2 star review: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/pdp/profile/A3NYDO4E71XT2P/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp/280-6693224-3722045

    I don't know how you'd contact him though.

    My daughter is on a mommas group on Facebook. She's asking there.
    Might be an idea to ask on the parenting forum here if its allowed?

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1339


    I wonder would it be worth a shot to email the seller that had it on eBay?
    It says "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."
    She might still have it?

    What if you find a replacement but Ted make his way home from Spain only to find out he's been replaced. He might try to kill Woodie and Buzz Lightyear.
