No, this is not a day for going out into the wild and hugging bears; it
is a day when people hug their teddy bear, the comfort animal that was
named after the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. Since the creation of the teddy bear, it has become one of the most
iconic toys and comfort items for children, and has also been featured
in songs, television shows, and movies. Teddy bears have also become
important collector's items for adults. But, maybe adults don't just
collect bears because of their monetary value. A recent study found that
over half of adults still have their favorite stuffed animal they grew
up with, 40% sleep with it by their side, and 70% said they want to keep
it for the rest of their lives! That makes it pretty easy for them to
take out their teddy bear and give it a hug today!
