The staff at a Lanarkshire A&E are looking to help Pooh Bear find his way home.
Children's favourite Pooh has been keeping staff and patients company at University Hospital Hairmyres in East Kilbride since the beginning of the month.
But it's now time for him to be reunited with his own family - and the hospital has put out an appeal.
A&E supervisor Pamela Welsh told Lanarkshire Live: "He has been a great help to us here, helping bring a smile to everyone faces and cheer up the children especially.
"But he's done a fair shift , we feel it's time he goes back to his rightful owner.
"He was found in one of the rooms in A&E and a charge nurse brought him to reception and the lost and found box but no one claimed him.
"We came across him and put him out with us at reception.
"He's been here probably since the beginning of August but it's so hard to pinpoint who he came in with."
Pamela decided to do an appeal in the hope someone gets in touch.
She added: "It brought back memories of my own daughter losing her favourite teddy, and the lengths we went to to try and find it. There was no social media back then so I'm hoping someone recognises him and gets in touch with us."
