Little Girl Gives Police Officer Her Teddy Bear To Keep Him Safe

A police officer nearly broke down in tears after a little girl gave him her teddy bear to help him keep safe.

Josh McConnell posted a picture of the stuffed toy on his Facebook page and explained how the girl’s kind gesture made him extremely emotional.

After responding to a call in Gulfort, Mississippi, Josh was approached by the girl - who he guessed was around four-year-old.

He wrote: “I turned and asked what I could do for her and she hands me her bear.

“I tried to give it back but she refused.

“She looked up at me and said it was to keep me safe.

“I said thank you while trying to keep my voice from cracking. I put the bear on my passenger seat for her to see.”

The girl’s mother told Josh that they had a law enforcement officer in their family and that is why she wanted to share her bear and safe wishes.

Josh has since posted photos of the bear strapped up with him in his car, making sure that he stays safe.
