Dodger the bear

Meet Dodger. Dodger is a Marks and Spencer "drag-a-long" bear, made in Indonesia. I spotted one on eBay but the seller was asking a whopping £49.99 and I couldn't afford to spend that much on a bear so I had to wait a while till finally another one came up for £5 The lady who was selling him was so kind,and happy to let me purchase him. She posted him quickly so he arrived in time to go on his holidays with me.I called him Dodger because the jumper he wears has a love heart on the front and therefore reminds me of my favourite biscuits, jammie dodgers. I'm guessing he's called a drag along bear because he gets dragged along to everything. Holidays, days out, walks, restaurants or anywhere else one might find themselves going. Anyway, I love him and because I bought him to cheer myself up after I finally found the courage to let go of a toxic relationship, somehow....in my eyes....he's even more special. He's not wearing his original jumper in the photo. Instead,he has a hand knitted jumper on that I bought for him and a pair of dungarees that I made. He's a good bear,my best friend so he kind of deserves a new jumper now and again.
