Teddy, the popular teddy bear of eight-year-old Danville Austin Robinette, has just had an exhausting fall.
First he flew south, practiced flying a jet, and hung out with flight attendants. Then he flew to New York City to do a section for Good Morning America on Thanksgiving Day.
Austin left Teddy on a Delta flight from Greensboro, North Carolina to Atlanta on October 15. Fortunately, a friendly flight attendant, Kerri Brown, found him and contacted his mother, Chelsea Robinette, on Facebook to assure them that Teddy was safe.
Teddy then traveled to Greenville, South Carolina; Atlanta; Panama City, Florida; Houston; and Washington, DC, with Brown.
“We took photos of his adventures along the way and my crew really enjoyed having him with us,” Brown said in a previous Register & Bee article.
Then she wrapped Teddy up with a Delta pin on his chest and sent him to Austin.
The story doesn’t end there, however.
“A friend from high school works for ABC, specifically GMA 3rd hour, and she saw my Facebook story and sent me a message saying she wanted to do the story,” Brown said.
