Swedish police have joined the search for a little girl’s fuzzy-wuzzy friend.

Police in Stockholm have posted a “missing teddy bear” photo on its official Facebook page since learning that Tyra Blomqvist lost her favorite stuffed animal last Tuesday.

“The teddy bear really means a lot to her,” the girl’s distraught mother, Kristin Blomqvist, told Nyheter24. “She can’t sleep properly at night without it, and she searches for it when she wakes in the morning.”

The family, after realizing that the plush toy was nowhere to be found, put up “missing teddy bear” signs around the Stockholm island of Kungsholmen.

The adorable sign features a photo of the stuffed animal and reads: “Have you seen my teddy bear, I dropped it somewhere on Hantverksgatan on June 19th?”

A local police officer who noticed the signs around the area took a photo of Tyra’s poster and uploaded it to the official Södermalm police Facebook page Sunday.

“Together, through ‘liking’ this picture, spreading the link, and keeping our eyes open, we can together make it so Tyra gets her beloved teddy bear back,” the photo’s caption reads, according to The Local.

“Be sure to leave the bear at the nearest police station so Tyra can see her friend again!” the caption adds.

Several Facebook commenters argued that the police had better things to do.

A police inspector, however, was quick to squash concerns about the officer’s priorities.

“The article above was written by an off-duty policeman, so the cost to us was zero,” the unidentified inspector said. “If we, through two minutes’ work, can help her get her friend back, we’d say it’s good prioritizing, don’t you think?”

The photo has gotten over 500 likes and 100 shares on Facebook.

But no one has come forward with Tyra’s cherished buddy.

“We still haven’t heard anything yet,” Kristin Blomqvist said, “but it feels good to know that people want to help out.”
