The world’s saddest teddy bear?

No Toy Story-like happy ending for this forlorn looking fella. Instead, he’s just been unceremoniously stuffed into a bin bag and declared burnable.

    Oh, wow, that is such an incredible sight. My feelings don’t even know where to go with such an image. That is not only the find but also the photo of the week…

      Cheers. Yeah, it certainly stopped me in my tracks. Not an everyday sight that’s for sure.

    Burnable indeed. Maybe they could use it to generate electricity.. “teddy power” or perhaps “Pooh power”… he he…

      Pooh power sounds likes the perfect answer to the search for green/renewable energy.

    Just too sad. Still, in my interpretation: Teddy was put out together with the burnables but the garbage men decided it wasn’t his time yet and left him.

      Yes, it does seem that teddy lives to fight another day. But at the same time I fear the simple switch to an unburnable bag will seal his fate for good…

    Aw 🙁 This one is even more sad than the abandoned Charmmy Kitty.

      Yeah, not the jolliest of sights that’s for sure.
