Do you know guys where the teddy bear's name comes from???
as we know Teddy is the name of the doll of bear. that name has a history.
In November 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt and some of his friends
went on a hunting trip to Mississippi. After hours of searching, Roosevelt
and his group had not come across any wild animals. Finally, the group did
track down and surrounded a helpless bear. One of the guides asked the
president to shoot the bear so he could win a hunting trophy. The
president refused, and news reporters throughout the country spread the
story of Roosevelt's kind act. FYI, Teddy is a small name of President Theodore Roosevelt.

Not long after this took place, a famous cartoonist named Clifford
Berryman drew a cartoon based on Roosevelt 's rescue of the bear. When a
store owner in Brooklyn saw the cartoon, he decided to make toy bears to
sell in his shop. He asked president Roosevelt for permission to use the
name “"Teddy's Bear"” for his toys, as a reminder of the bear
Roosevelt had set free. Nowadays, everyone knows these toys as Teddy
Bears, but few people know that they were named after President Theodore
“"Teddy"” Roosevelt.
November 14 has been designated American Teddy Bear Day.
