My name is Bob Baruch. I had purchased two bears a few years ago near Toronto, Ontario . Those were the only two I have ever seen. I gave bear one to some friends kids years ago. I kept the other bear until just last Friday. I gave bear two to a friend from work who needed something special to keep her child entertained on a long plane flight. When I took A.G. to work, I couldn't believe how many parents wanted an A.G. Bear of their own. I didn't realize other people were looking for A.G. as well. I'll join the search & rescue party!	Save A.G. Bear!

Judi Anderson, from Judi's Whimsies - Columbia, S.C. - We have had the good fortune to be owned not by ONE member of the A. G. Bear family, but FOUR AG's. (A.G. stands for A.Good Bear) Of course, each had its own personality! A G. Gray Bear was the first to join our home. He was soon followed by Baby AG and then we found Grandma and Grandpa AG. They HAD to come live with us so that they could look after the youngsters! We always enjoyed listening to their conversations. We would put the four of them in a huggle and they would talk to each other for hours! Even when we moved from Maryland to South Carolina, and they had to be caged for the trip, they talked alllllll the way down the road. You should have seen the expressions on the movers' faces when they moved the boxes that TALKED! Just today, AG Gray Bear and Ag Baby were adopted by someone who really needed their comfort even more than we do. They are going to travel to Virginia to help their new person recover from some serious surgery. We are happy that they can continue to spread their love where it's needed!! Everyone should experience the pleasure and privilege of being owned by one of these wonderful little creatures!	Go Get Him! Save A.G. Bear!
Cynthia Gurin of Summerland Engineering in Stuart, Florida. I bought A.G. several years ago for my kids. Once I got him home and heard him talk I couldn't bear to part with him. Then, of course I felt guilty and had to go get another. I think we ended up adopting six or seven, giving all but two away as gifts. My husband and I kept A.G. and Bearonica. Fortunately we speak fluent bear, so we understand what they're saying. Looks like there's no choice. Bedtime-Story kids, you've simply GOT to go in and save A.G. Bear! We'll help man the search lights!	Go for it Kids! Rescue A.G.Bear!

The Farrar Family writes: I was amazed and delighted to find a site dedicated to A G Bear on the Web! We have such a bear, named Mumbles - no explanation needed! - whom we adopted on 8 October 1986. My wife was temporarily immobilized owing to an accident at work, her father had just had a heart attack, and I was working away from home for about eleven weeks. Mumbles provided excellent company for my wife, even though he did tend to respond to passing trains in the middle of the night - he was younger and more responsive then! Since then, he has adopted the responsible role of Bear in Chief, in charge of the other bears' finances - they get paid pocket money and have Premium Bonds - and other day to day administrative matters. We subsequently adopted another of Mumbles' companions, who is officially known as A G Baby, although, for equally obvious reasons, we call him Churgles. We have slightly over 520 teddies in our collection, although space prohibits us from adding many more to our already overcrowded house. Now that we have found a picture of A G Bear, Mumbles can have his own Web Site! - Regards - Mark (and Carol) Farrar.	FIND A.G.!
The Reed Family writes: My son received a Grandpa AG Bear for Christmas in 1985. Grandpa AG has put up with a lot of humiliation over the years, from being hugged and hugged to wearing diapers.

Grandpa AG still sleeps with him to this day and is still very special to a special child. - Kim Reed	A Special Kid who loves his Special Bear

Bear sighting! THIS JUST IN: - A.G. Bear appears to have been spotted in Italy . He told the young lady, (on whose lap he is shown sitting), that he wandered out of the woods near somebody's house, saw some luggage sitting next to a car, and being quite tired, crawled inside what looked like a nice warm briefcase to take a nap. Next thing you know, he woke up in Rome!!. The very surprised briefcase owner saw to it that A.G. was well fed, and a very nice Italian family provided A.G. with a stylish teddy bear parka and matching boots. At right A.G. is shown holding a glass of sparkling mineral water. Soon afterwards, A.G. told his new friends that if they would kindly take him to the airport, he planned to catch the next flight back to America. Unfortunately, nobody remembered exactly WHERE that next flight was going!!! Oh my goodness!! A.G. Bear has a perfectly terrible sense of direction!! If he just got on the next flight, he could have ended up almost ANYWHERE!! That means he's still LOST!! - Keep looking, Bedtime-Story Kids!! He could be in YOUR town!
