Massachusetts State Trooper Saves a Little Girl's Bear

Massachusetts State Trooper Dan Mather was driving on the interstate in Milford, Massachusetts when he saw a child’s teddy bear fly out the window of a car driving ahead of him and into traffic. What he did next made the day of a very happy little girl! Trooper Mather was able to retrieve the bear from the lane and return it to its rightful owner, Emma, and her parents, Scott and Beth. Emma was so thrilled that her mom sent a grateful note to Trooper Mather. She explained, “Emma has loved her polar bear for some time. He doesn't leave her sight. Polar goes to school with her, on vacation and everywhere Emma goes. They're inseparable and [he] gives Emma comfort.” State police said that the sweet card made Trooper Mather’s day.
